I think this article is pretty spot on — it articulates something I’ve come to appreciate about LLM-assisted coding over the past few months. I started out very sceptical. When Claude Code landed, I got completely seduced — borderline addicted, slot machine-style — by what initially felt like a superpower. Then I actually read the code. It was shockingly bad. I swung back hard to my earlier scepticism, probably even…
Just stop with this, it's bulshitty. There's nothing related between LLMs and the migration from punch cards to terminals, nor to photoshop compared to film theatre, literally [nothing]. This is a pretty underwelming way of trying to say people that are critiques of this are akin to nostalgic people that "miss the old good days", when there are more than enough pertinent reasons to disagree with this tech in this case. Basically calling opposing people irrational.
I'm not talking about doom or software dev dying or any bullshit like that, I'm just saying this kind of point you make in the end is not reasonable.
