Positive users agree AI code generation still requires programming fundamentals and won't replace skilled coders, while negative users dismiss the tweet as obvious MBA bait or mock its author.

@shauseth I am an MBA, I can't code myself and I do code with AI extensively.

@shauseth notice how it works because otherwise each agent will start doing things at its own pace without any care of the overall product

@shauseth It’s all about the 'code review' skill. If you don't understand the fundamentals, you’re just a spectator to the machine. You still need to be the architect.

@shauseth AI's net effect on jobs will be to replace mid-level managers who don't know what their doing with high-level builders who will work as the new mid-level managers over teams of AI
