The author goes into great detail about how he looked at my commit log[0] where I used AI, and he found it "nauseating" and concluded he'd never want to work that way.
I'm certainly not going to tell anyone that they're wrong if they try AI and don't like it! But this guy... did not try it? He looked at a commit log, tried to imagine what my experience was like, and then decided he didn't like that? And then he wrote about it?
Folks, it's really not that hard to actually try it. There is no learning curve. You just run the terminal app in your repo and you ask it to do things. Please, I beg you, before you go write walls of text about how much you hate the thing, actually try it, so that you actually have some idea what you're talking about.
Six months ago, I myself imagined that I would hate AI-assisted coding! Then I tried it. I found out a lot of things that surprised me, and it turns out I don't hate it as much as I thought.
