alt Hacker NewsHN has a huge anti AI crowd that is just as vocal and active as its pro AI crowd. My guess that this is true of the industry today and won’t be true of the industry 5 years from now: one of the crowds will have won the argument and the other will be out of the tech industry.

I don’t understand why people are so resistant to the idea that use cases actually matter here. If someone says “you’re an idiot because you aren’t writing good, structured prompts,” or “you’re too big of an idiot to realize that your AI-generated code sucks” before knowing anything about what the other person was trying to do, they’re either speaking entirely from an ideological bias, or don’t realize that other people’s coding jobs might look a whole lot more different than theirs do.
