Engineers Split Over Grief as AI Takes Over Coding

Original: Engineers Split on Grief Over AI Replacing Hands-On Coding

Software engineers are debating whether it is reasonable to mourn the decline of hands-on coding as AI tools increasingly write production code. Some argue that losing the craft of programming represents a real professional and personal loss, while others say the grief is misplaced and that engineers should adapt to directing AI rather than writing every line themselves.
