What were you using? Did you use it for a real project? I ask because you're going to have a vastly different experience with Cursor than with Claude Code, for example.
In the end, every tool I tried felt like I was spending a significant amount of time saying “no that won’t work” just to get a piece of code that would build, let alone fit for the task. There was never an instance where it took less time or produced a better solution than just building it myself, with the added bonus that building it myself meant I understood it better.
In addition to that I got into this line of work because I like solving problems. So even if it was as fast and as reliable as me I’ve changed my job from problem solver to manager, which is not a trade I would make.
I have very rarely needed the site: modifier, and even knowing this exists sets people apart, and reinforces there is skill to it
You can hammer in nails with your knuckles. Do you want to do that daily? There are people who can, they're still worse at it than a plain hammer or someone even using a right rock. Much less an assembly line.
Consider that the frequency of replies along those lines might be evidence that there's something to it. It's not necessarily true, of course, but if it's false then you need to explain why so many people believe otherwise.
