> 1. People simply don't respect programming as a creative, human endeavour. Replacing devs with AI is viewed in the same way as replacing assembly line workers with robots.

Very reminiscent of the "software factory" bullshit peddled by grifters 15 or 20 years ago.

And I think, frankly, a lot of agile practice as I've seen it in industry doesn't respect software development as a creative endeavour either.

But fundamentally I, like a lot of programmers/developers/engineers, got into software because I wanted to make things, and I suspect the way I use AI to help with software development reflects that (tight leash, creative decision-making sits with me, not the machine, etc.).
