I frequently find myself in conversations with people who are resistant to AI and turn out to have a very skewed idea of what it can and cannot do.
Or they were reading your comments and articles and couldn't reproduce any of the fantastic results that you were claiming, even back then. Things have indeed changed since the first Opus release about a year ago and LLMs are good at programming now. But still, experienced professionals are not so keen to sign off 1000s of lines of code that they never read, take responsibility for it etc. Also, it is a different job and it will take some time to adjust. Can you blame them?
Moreover, other trades have their own guilds or are otherwise protected through regulation. Can you blame programmers for fighting to keep doing things as they were doing it until recently?
What did you have trouble replicating?

Not in the slightest. This stuff is really hard. The changes it makes to our production are disruptive and, in many cases, unwelcome.
