This is such a strange take. The definition of "magic" in this post is apparently "other people's code" and it even admits that that no practical program can avoid depending on other people's code. I think what the author is really saying that they like to minimize dependencies and abstractions, particularly in web client development, and then throws in a connection to coding assistants.

I don't see it, either the notion that other people's code is to be avoided for its own sake nor that depending on LLM-generated code is somehow analogous to depending on React.
