A veteran developer argues against common criticisms of AI-assisted programming, contending that modern LLM coding agents are fundamentally different from simple ChatGPT interactions. The author addresses skeptics' concerns about code quality, hallucination, and craft, arguing that agents can handle tedious coding tasks while developers focus on higher-level decisions. They emphasize that LLMs excel at generating repetitive code, reducing Google searches, and maintaining momentum on projects, while developers retain responsibility for code review and architectural decisions.
