You see articles like by both left and right commentstors. The other side is always shown as ridiculous and ridiculed.
I'd say the purpose of this article isn't to point out the idiocy, but to encourage a polemic political world view, engage people's tribal instincts, and attribute specific beliefs to each. That's how the propaganda works, in my opinion - it's divide and conquer. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/a60eba2479acc5ec

Funny how much of this kind of elitism touches. Rob Pike on Go:
"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

Prediction time.
Those who believe in bitcoin tend to believe other things will also be world-changing technology. Specifically, they tend to overestimate the speed of adoption and impact of AI. In my opinion, they incorrectly think a change that will take multiple decades (if not longer) will happen in a decade.
Believing you're a philosopher king due to being enriched via bitcoin compounds the issue. Surprising how often this bias seems to hit.
I think LLMs are one trick, and it can only cut so deep. Unless they pull another rabbit out of the hat, I expect little to no improvement in AI over the next decade.

It says something about western society's psyche that something so fundamental to navigating the human condition needs to be written down.
Or maybe not. We, the great unwashed, seem to struggle with the basics.

"If you cannot take on the suffering of the Great Universe, you will not attain the happiness of the Great Universe either. To attain the joy of this timeless indestructibility, this great peace of mine, one has to see through every obstacle and put all of one's life into this one breath" Rev. Kanko Ishimoto

Posting this with the caveat that different projects have different requirements, but I've seen plenty of programmers who consider cutting corners universally unacceptable. There are no absolutes. The correct answer is always "it depends". https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2009/09/23/the-duct-tape-programmer/
