Debate: If 90% of Your Code Moves JSON and Writes UI, AI Should Take It
gdechichi · x · 2026-10-15
A debate over AI coding: @elijahsemyonov argues that while he hates AI in art, refusing AI for software — where 90% of code just moves JSONs and manipulates UI trees — seems foolish.
@gdechichi fires back: if 90% of your work is moving JSON and writing UI, you're not building anything interesting. The core question: is the boilerplate AI takes over a burden, or the actual substance of software development?
