This is such a naive take. Most of the nerdiest and most "quality" oriented engineers are hard leaning in to agentic coding. I feel like the most impressive engineers I know have always leaned in to learning how to "sharpen the axe" and AI is really the biggest axe we have seen.
Where did I say they weren’t? We’re all using LLMs now, it would be stupid not to. It’s how we use them and how much care we’re willing to give up for speed that is at issue here.
