Cris.The AI "loss of craft" debate keeps coming back. Just read [a great piece][1] by Andrew Murphy on the five stages of it — and I skipped straight to stage 5.
As I told a client recently:
> I'm not worried about AI stealing my job. The value of craft will only go up. Sculptors still command huge fees for unique work, even when you can 3D print anything.

Last Tuesday I was on a coaching call with an engineering manager. Let's call her Sarah (because that's her name). She was describing a situation I've now heard about forty times in the last twelve months. Her most senior developer, a guy with twelve years of experience and very strong opinions about YAML indentation (2 spaces, obviously, he's not a monster), had just refused to use Cursor. Not "tried it and didn't like it." Refused. On principle.
