Their ego doesn't let them see the difference.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
It's been an absolute boon to finally build out all of the fun side projects I had always dreamed of, and after showing one off to some people I might even be able to monetize.
On the other hand I acknowledge that other people dont want to embrace LLM driven development for one reason or another, and I respect that. People got into the industry for different reasons , but code was always just a means to an ends for me.
I wonder though: Was the code ever the important part, or was it just the ability to reason through complex problems in a specific way that mattered?
Code forces you to think in a specific and valuable way. You can do that in English as well, and maybe even get more done faster... but it's a skill that will take time to master.
