Because it’s uncomfortable to see decades of work copied so trivially.

But that's the thing, without the decades of work, it wouldn't BE trivial.

Everyone is standing on the shoulders of those which came before. If LLMs allow us to combine the incredible decades of effort and knowledge and experiences that's gone into building something as great as Postgres, and take that and combine the experience and philosophy that has led to the creation of a language that potentially provides tangible benefits, and for far less human time and effort that it would have otherwise taken...surely something that should be celebrated as absolutely incredible?

Imagine the feelings of a dude who used to code in assembly and then some punk writes in c++ and uses gcc... decades of work wasted.

I can trivially copy any code even without an LLM though with a simple tool called rsync!
