> Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used. They care that the product works.

Software never worked even decently before AI let alone right now that we have AI. I'm a user too like many of us we see every day software built by people who don't care. AI is not a force multiplier if it can let you be lazy you'll be lazy, not being lazy requires a lot of discipline. IMO Agents requires a lot more discipline than hand coding, that's why I use them both, I let AI stress test my code and viceversa, rarely I let my code(usually an interface) let AI write better code, or I ask AI a lot questions about the codebase. That's totally different than some narratives pushed by people you can find here or on X I believe the criticism comes from pushing back doomers and astroturfers. AI is good but not as good as they claim to be, to me very far away from what's claimed and you still need to care about software
