While I agree, because I like writing code, I do wonder if this is how assembly writers felt when automated compilation started to take off.

I don't want to be Captain Obvious, but it wasn't like there was a long era of assembly computing, and then it was stopped being used as higher-level languages took over.

To put thing in perspective, Fortran was invented in 1954, Lisp 4 years later. In the following decades, the assembly language was being used along in various ways. And it is still being used in certain applications.

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything things suddenly dying out.

It literally doesn't matter, if your product sucks. Only end result for the user matters.

It matters to me. If it doesn't matter to you? That's fine and you are fully entitled to that view.

Asking tech people not to care more about the software they use than the average person seems pointless though.

>not the highest quality

I bet AI writes better code than 80% of developers out there.

But all developers think they are in the 20%.
