AI coding tools let anyone program, sparking debate

Original: Now with AI and agents, Codex, Claude, etc... anyone thinks they're a programmer now, and honestly, I think it's perfect

A developer writing on X argued that AI assistants like Codex and Claude have made programming accessible to everyone, and that this is a good thing. The post, which mocked programming 'elitists' frustrated by the trend, drew over a thousand likes, reflecting an ongoing argument in tech circles about whether AI coding tools devalue or democratise software development.

Why now: AI coding agents are rapidly changing who can write software, fuelling tension between professional programmers and newcomers.
