      I’m not bitching about the existence of code agents in general, I’m bitching about the general attitude of “Code Agents will replace programmers” because no the fuck they are not.

      They can produce one-off apps and scripts fairly well to the point where non-programmers can solve their problems (great!) but they lack the necessary sophistication and context to build long-lasting, maintainable and scalable applications, which is what you are hiring developers for in the first place

      I’m with you on this. The only legit concern I hear is its environmental impact.

      But things will become more efficient over time and it had led to increased interest in nuclear energy, so i think it’s a problem that will take care of itself.
