I think you're vastly overestimating the technical competence and background of most people using agentic coding harnesses today.

The downside to democratizing code creation is... it puts it in the hands of non-developers.

F.ex. a team I work with asking OpenClaw "What is SRE?"

Well - maybe. But as I understand it - you can't buy Mac minis right now because agentic coders are buying all of them, so they can properly sandbox their agents. Which means a LOT of people know they need to sandbox their agents.

I'm beginning to think that the true issue here is that people who dislike AI are largely ignorant of the current state. Because willful ignorance.

I say that because I repeatedly see people making extremely silly statements that they really should know better about. But for some reason they don't.

Obviously I could be wrong. Time will tell.
