There’s a really common cognitive fallacy of “the consequences of that are something I don’t like, therefore it’s wrong”.

It’s like reductio ad absurdum, but without the logical consequence of the argument being incorrect, just bad.

You see it all the time, especially when it comes to predictions. The whole point of this article is coding agents are powerful and the arguments against this are generally weak and ill-informed. Coding agents having a negative impact on skill growth of new developers isn’t a “fundamental mistake” at all.
