Personally I've yet to see any high profile programming person (who's not directly invested into AI) endorse only coding by prompting.

Experienced coders that I follow, who do use AI tend to focus on tight and fast feedback loops, and precise edits (or maybe exploratory coding) rather than agentic fire-and-forget workflows.

Also, an interesting side note, I expected programmers I think of as highly skilled, who I know personally to reject AI from personal pride - that has not been the case. However 2 criticisms I've heard consistently from this crowd (besides the thing I mentioned before) was

- AI makes hosting and participating in coding competitions impossible, and denies them of brain-teasers and an ability to hone their skills.

- A lot of them are concerned about the ethics of training on large codebases - and consider AI plagiarism as much of an issue as artists do.
