theo defends AI code quality as svpino questions the value of writing code

theo challenged claims that AI cannot write good code, arguing that such criticism reflects the critic's own coding ability. In a separate post, svpino argued that writing code now has little value and that programmers who dismiss AI's ability to do their work are in denial.

svpino distinguished writing code in a particular programming language from developing ideas, designing solutions, architecting systems and troubleshooting problems. The account argued that people doing those broader kinds of software work are thriving with AI and urged programmers to embrace the tools.
