I guess you have not looked at the Emacs codebase, nor used a recent
model. Current models are already good enough that "real programmers
don't need them" is cosplay. Serious FOSS is already using them, with
human review still on the hook. The kernel has process for this.
You are looking at it technically. I really don't mind for technical
feature of Service as a Software Substitute, or SaaSS in the form of
LLM outputs. I don't use it, will not use it, unless it is free as in
software freedom.

If tool use makes someone an "inferior" developer, go tell the kernel
devs. Start with Linus. I would love to read it.
Never said that, you never got my idea, try harder.
I would not say it that way if there would be OpenCode or Hermes or
other coding agent in use, but not Claude. So where am I pointing to? 🤔
