The classic "you're doing it wrong" response to criticism.

The classic "the only thing LLM proponents ever say is "you're doing it wrong"" response!

I, for one, appreciate that you don't let the haters get you down.

Keep up the good work, Simon. I admire your boundless optimism and curiosity--and your willingness to educate us all.

I think this can’t be overstated and I see it my day-to-day working with developers on AI enablement.

If you are good a writing, documenting, planning? etc. - basically all the stuff in the SDLC that isn’t writing code, you’ll probably be much more effective at using LLMs for coding.

I generally agree with you, but this is a poor take. Developers, in general, like to write code. Writing prose is incidental. If the job becomes writing prose instead of code, it's easy to see why there's pushback.
