This seems like some bizarre luddite-esque argument. We should use computers to aid our work, but not too much!!

  It's more an expression of "if it any broke don't fix it" or a minimalist approach to prorgamming.

    Programming is broken though. If it weren't, we wouldn't have so many issues with our main operating systems and popular applications. The desire to remain ignorant of the problems (by not using tooling which can reveal it) is remarkably popular, however. Enjoy your bliss!

      Well the tooling you are referring to is more like buildingin an automatic sensor into a basic tool. So it's an enhancement to a basic rtool functionality, not a new tool. I'm only questioning the usefulness of that enhancement, since it results in programmers not caring about a certain aspect of their programming. It's sort of like exception handling, while it exists, it rarely gets activtaed in real programs.
