I am just saying that people have been making these sorts of shallow dismissive comments about people who use different tooling since forever. I remember a college professor snided at students who didn't know how to use vi.

In the same way that most people are no longer proficient in assembly, but it has not spelled doom for software engineering, some folks are now using AI tools, and it will probably be fine. The day to day work flow of a typical programmer will probably be different ten or twenty years from now, and we will all move on, as usual.
