Articles like this keep popping up because they're catnip to those who hate AI or feel threatened by it. On coding, I routinely see people trashing vibe coding and jumping on the slightest mistake agents may make, never mind that human devs screw up all the time. And write-ups citing stats on AI coding tend to be written by folks who either don't code for a living or never earnestly tried it.

I use Claude Code regularly at work and can tell it is absolutely fantastic and getting better. You obviously need to guide it well (use plan mode first) and point to hand coded stuff to follow, and it will save you enormous amount of time and effort. Please don't put off trying AI coding out after reading misinformed articles like this.

I think devs have a natural inclination to resist a seismic shift in their industry, which is understandable.

However I agree that a lot of this stuff is FUD and AI dev is like a new skill, it takes time to master. It took me a few months but I’m comfortably more productive and having a more fun time at work with Claude Code

Sorry, but your anecdote isn’t very convincing in comparison to the data shared in the article.
