I am in the middle, neither a dogmatic skeptic nor a full-blown prompt engineer, but I lost it when the author compared a junior developer (a human) to a SaaS subscription.
Tells you what you need to know about the AI culture.
I don’t think it’s an uncommon comparison.
If you don’t consider the human aspect, a LLM coding agent has a similar use than a junior developer.
Of course, humans have advantages and those advantages have value. But the coding agent costs $20 dollars a month.
Replacing humans my machines that are much cheaper isn’t really something new.
