Reading articles like this feels like being in a different reality.

I don't work like this, I don't want to work like this and maybe most importantly I don't want to work with somebody who works like this.

Also I am scared that any library that I am using through the myriad of dependencies is written like this.

On the other hand... if I look at this as some alternate universe where I don't need to directly or indirectly touch any of this... I am happy that it works for these people? I guess? Just keep it away from me

It does sound horrible. No more getting in the flow, no more thinking about anything, no more understanding anything. Just touch it with a ten-foot pole every few hours, then get distracted again.

I guess if all you do is write React To-Do apps all day, it might even work for a bit.

Unfortunately, I think the evolution of LLMs is going to put more areas of programming within this "React Todo app" envelope of capability that you suggest, and to have it work for longer, rather than going away.
