"and your mental effort can shift from managing low-level details to clearly expressing your intent."

I really struggle to understand what people are doing that makes these two things mutually exclusive. Unless the catchment group is people who can't code or understand software engineering. Which is fine. It reminds me a lot of the no-code hype.

I wonder if ai-coding will turn out a bit like ultra processed food. Cheap to produce something that looks like it does the job, but actually is quite bad for consumers.

I don't see anyone producing objective measures on the improved apps. Like bugs per lines if code, feature development time, etc.
