This is just one article out of many that I've noticed here on HN over the past few weeks that are very anti-AI. As such, I have a sneaky suspicion that what I wrote is exactly what this backlash is about.
And while I can't speak for anybody but myself, I have never heard a dev I personally know express any real concern that they're going to be replaced by "AI". The ones who express professional concerns are mostly worried that AI is going to remove the aspects of software development that they enjoy.
