I think the people most extreme about it haven’t done much development.
Or they have, professionally, and associate it with very real AI psychosis at work.
Or they’re in school and see LLMs ruining the student body, as we’ve seen some in other Lemmy posts.
It all comes down to ethical tool sourcing, and using those tools in moderation, responsibly. Like all sorts of other automation/technology that’s popped up in programming…
But I guess I’m saying I can sympathize with absolute “no-LLM-code” positions, too. The way true vibe-coding has been peddled to the public really has done tremendous damage, and honestly the space deserves the negative attention its getting, and then some.
