That's a rather unkind comment.

For the parent there's immaterial value knowing that is written by a human. From what I read in your comment, you see code more as a means to an end. I think I understand where the parent is coming from. Writing code myself, and accomplishing what I set out to build sometimes feels like a form of art, and knowing that I build it, gives me a sense of accomplishment. And gives me energy. Writing code solely as a means to an end, or letting it be generated by some model, doesn't give that same energy.

This thinking has nothing to do with not caring about being a good teammate or the business. I've no idea why you put that on the same pile.

Friendly suggestion: your post contains a mix of interesting points and ad hominim attacks.

People will be more likely to engage with your main assertion if you leave out the insults.
