No offense intended, but this is written by a guy who has the spare time to write the blog. I can only assume his problem space is pretty narrow. I'm not sure what his workflow is like, but personally I am interacting with so many different tools, in so many different environments, with so many unique problem sets, that being able to use AIs for error evaluation, and yes, for writing code, has indeed been a game changer. In my experience it doesn't replace people at all, but they sure are powerful tools. Can they write unsupervised code? No. Do you need to read the code they write? Yes, absolutely. Can the AIs produce bugs that take time to find? Yes.
But despite all that, the tools can find problems, get information, and propose solutions so much faster and across such a vast set of challenges that I simply cannot imagine going back to working without them.
This fellow should keep on working without AIs. All the more power to him. And he can ride that horse all the way into retirement, most likely. But it's like ignoring the rise of IDEs, or Google search, or AWS.
