By the reply count it appears this post was excellent at trolling HN's core audience :-). The author may be right, but his preface "look I'm one of you" was in a very different tone to the rest of his "now shut up and get to work" rant.
I do use the AI tools to some extent, if for no other reason than that they are currently the path of least resistance, and google+friends have lately played themselves out of the game.
He is probably right we should get acquainted with using agents before dismissing it :-).
The article is chefs_kiss.jpg. the author is core-hn, in spirit and in karma.
imo that tone is exactly what's needed to set right the entitlement that we SWEs have developed over the last decade. The key line in the article gets to the heart of the actual concern developers have imo.
