AI coding tools let anyone program, and one developer approves

Original: Now with AI and agents, Codex, Claude, etc... anyone thinks they're a programmer now, and honestly, I think it's perfect

A developer sparked discussion by arguing that AI coding tools like Codex and Claude now allow anyone to act as a programmer, and said this is a good thing. He mocked programming 'elitists' upset by the trend, saying he hopes it bothers them further. The remark feeds an ongoing debate about whether AI agents genuinely democratize software development or devalue professional expertise.

Why now: Ongoing tension between developers welcoming AI-assisted coding and traditionalists defending professional skill.

Now with AI and agents, Codex, Claude, etc... anyone thinks they're a programmer now, and honestly, I think it's perfect. Keep it up until it makes one of the elitists' veins pop. · sammwy · 1K
