it’s an interface. which is arguably a type of tool.

“coding” is (now quite obviously) not the only way to create code. this was always true. you could create code by stitching snippets together from stackoverflow, or somewhere else, even your own existing works. or you could write it from scratch.

the whole “not a tool” argument just comes off as not wanting to view using it as the same amount of effort as using something else.

That assertion all but admits it.
