Not a few hot takes — I went deep, hundreds of posts, threads, and "the end of programming" essays, from both camps. The breathless "developers are obsolete by Christmas" crowd and the smug "AI is a stochastic parrot that can't count the r's in strawberry" crowd.</p> <p>Here's the strange part. They agree on almost nothi
