Reading just the title:

It is _because_ a programmer's job is to think that AI Coding assistants may provide value. They would (and perhaps already do) complete the boiler plate, and perhaps help you access information faster. They also have detriments, may atrophy some of your capabilities, may tempt you to go down more simplistic paths etc., but still.

Reading the post as well: It didn't change my mind. As for what it actually says, my reaction is a shrug, "whatever".
