Oh no, AI-generated code will make me a bad programmer? Thank God I’ve been hand-crafting my 500 line regex monstrosities for 20 years—clearly the gold standard. Next you’ll tell me copy pasting Stack Overflow turns me into a cargo cultist. Wake up: bad programmers existed since punch cards; AI just speeds up the Darwinian cull. Use it to boilerplate the boring bits, then actually grok what it spits out. Or keep Luddite-posting while the rest of us ship.
