> People who love using AI to create software are loving it because they don’t value the act of creating & understanding the software.
That's a pretty sweeping generalization. Just because I don't value the act of typing into a keyboard doesn't mean that I don't value the craft of creating and understanding software. I am not outsourcing my understanding to the LLM, I am outsourcing the typing of the code.
What you are describing is not engineering, it's (pardon the phrase) vibe coding. Claude Code is just a tool, and everyone is going to use that tool differently. There is nothing inherent in the tool itself that requires you to surrender your agency and understanding. If you do, that's on you, not Claude.
an investment in a fast typing course seems like a significantly more effective, and more ethical solution for you compared to chatting up remote bots that require nuclear power to operate economically
