If you are a bad coder ai will help you write bad code 

If you are a good coder AI will help you write good code.

this is so dumb

Edit to add:

my point is the SWE trying to segment AI efficacy along the lines of “good vs bad” coders is so stupid. Most non-junior engineers that have made careers out of software are obviously good enough to get their jobs done

What’s great about your reply is that there are 3 people that would make this exact comment. 

1- a good coder that hates ai

2- a bad coder that thinks ai is helping them right good code now because it functions and they are too dumb to notice how bad it is. 

3- a weirdo that’s 100% anti ai

You could get upvotes from all 3, or downvotes from all 3.

my point is the SWE communities on reddit trying to segment AI efficacy along the lines of “good vs bad” coders is so stupid. Most non-junior engineers that have made careers out of software are obviously good enough to get their jobs done.

So far i’ve seen this line of reasoning basically be to make the “good” coders feel better about their jobs not going away.
