alt Hacker NewsThere's this infinite war between the two opposing sides. "It's going to change programming forever" vs "Why not just use your brain". I much prefer option two for all the good reasons. Saying that AI is awesome doesn't actually adress all its issues.

Plus, a big part of an engineer's job is understanding what the system is doing and how. And correctness. Letting LLMs write everything without a deep review that would take at least half the time it would take to design and write the thing manually does not seem to meet that goal.

What is infinite about that (or any) war? Things always change and "just do/use x" consistently, eventually, does not win.
There's no war, it's just that the internet pushes the more controversial narratives up.
The overwhelming majority of users use and see the benefits of AI and at the same time are fully aware that you won't move software by copy pasting a jira task and lots of thinking is involved into planning and reviewing the changes.
