Not the person you are asking to clarify. But, I can read it in two ways:

1. A huge part of the demographic group visiting HN is biased in favor of AI given the sort of startups YN decides to fund.

2. The large amount of start-ups funded by HN that are related to AI should answer your question.

I am slightly leaning towards the first one combined with a little bit of the latter one. A lot of people working in startups will be used to building up a structure from scratch where incorporating the latest "thing" is not that big of a deal. It also means they rarely see the long term impact of the code they write.

They have a huge blind spot for the reality of existing code bases and company structures where introducing these tools isn't as easy and code needs to be maintained for much longer.
