Yeah, it's that same old story all over again. We're living in an era where AI IDEs, AI CLIs, and all sorts of online and offline tools keep popping up, giving off this vibe that 'developers can just pack their bags now.' But honestly? Development isn't just about typing code — it's really about programming thinking. That ability to break down problems, reason through complexity, and handle the messy real-world details.

AI's great at automating repetitive stuff — the boilerplate, the routine tasks — but it can't replace the judgment calls, the creativity, or understanding what's really going on under the hood. As some people have pointed out in this thread, you can't escape the details, and that's exactly where human developers come in and add value.
