How dare some shitty AI bro assume what she would have thought?

I'm sure that is how many photographers felt about digital cameras and photo editing software when it first came. Now very few professional photographers work without digital cameras and photo editing software (even if it is just to tweak some colors). Yes, you will still have some artists making money with purely analog cameras without any touch up but they are a tiny minority of the photographers getting paid for their work (slightly more people use analog cameras as a hobby).

Can I create an account with email on Kilo Code or only "Sign in with Google"? I couldn't see such an option.

Ah, I personally read it as "Use of good tools makes you more competitive",

but you're right that "I firmly believe that AI will not replace developers, but a developer using AI will replace a developer who does not." could have multiple other readings too.

AI isn't a stylistic preference or minor enhancement, but cognitive augmentation that allows developers to navigate complexity at scales human cognition wasn't designed for.

Just as the developer who refused to adopt version control, IDEs, or Stack Overflow eventually became unemployable, those who reject tools that fundamentally expand their problem-solving capacity will find themselves unable to compete with those who can architect solutions across larger possibility spaces on smaller teams.

Will it be used for absolutely every problem? No - There are clearly places where humans are needed.

But rejecting the enormous impact this will have on the workforce is trading hype goggles for a bucket of sand.
