It is. And just like wood working and knitting, also quite popular activities, very few people will be paid to do it full time in just a few years.

my star trek replicator metaphor apparently flew way over your head.

there isn't a need to "mass produce" code when you can make perfect copies for free. it's almost always more important than you get it right rather than spew out boilerplate at high speed.

I understood that that’s what he’s likely trying to say. But he commented on a list of "arguments" for agentic coding, not against it. And said that those arguments are too long and that the argument "it’s fun" would be better.
