The argument that resonated the most with me is that high-quality software needs living, breathing human developers with a mental model of how the software works. If you’re taking huge code blocks spit out by an AI and injecting it into your code unread (or largely unread, as the tool encourages you to do), then you’re effectively taking on a dependency – one that’s not understood by anyone on your team, of dubious quality, and frozen in time with no security updates or bugfixes ever.
