the argument "but you're also no longer using a fountain pen to write" against hand-written code is silly to me. i think close to 100% of people would rather read a short story written in fountain pen by octavia e. butler or william gibson than something that a rando ai-prompted? they could even take their time, why would it need to be rushed?
@mntmn You're no longer ploughing the ground by hand. This is true, but does it relate with anything else than a farmer's work?
False analogies help to construct falsely rational ideas all the time. An advance in technology doesn't mean a forced change is needed.
By the way, LLM tools aren't an advance in technology either, but just an advance in marketing.

@luc0x61 @mntmn

We shouldn't be ploughing the ground hardly at all, honestly.

@violetmadder @mntmn That's the point, writing something that sounds obvious.
