imo we are seeing two types of programming viewports emerge.
i mean maybe it's just me but i quite like this new normal where i'm an "intermediary". i review every line that comes out and research things if they don't make sense or i'm confused. and a lot of times it helps me figure out how to approach a problem or refine an existing one. i'm still architecting everything and diving in.
i guess if you liken progamming to like i dunno, chopping your own tree down, turning it into 2x4s to build a house then yeah, it seems like your skills are atrophying.
i do not miss the "joy" of writing random boilerplate 100s of times or variations of the same function. i do however fear for the the new generation who maybe didn't cut their teeth on having minimal guidance. i can totally see people just coasting and blindly pasting things, but that's always sort of existed on stack exchange, etc.
