> OP treats all implementation details as equally valuable parts of "the journey,"

Do they? That wasn’t my take away from the article.

My impression was that the author missed the enjoyment of problem solving because they overused AI. Not that they think all problems are equal.

For what it’s worth though, I do agree with your more general point about AI use. And in fact that’s how I’ve used AI code generation too. “Solve the tedious problem quickly so you can focus on the interesting one”.
