This summarizes my feelings pretty well. I've been writing code in a dozen languages for 25+ years at this point. Not only do I not gain anything from writing certain boilerplate for the nth time, I'm also less likely to actually do the work unless it reaches some threshold of importance because it's just not interesting. With all of this said, I can see how this could be problematic with less experience. For this scanner project, it was like having the ability to hand off some tasks to a junior engineer. But having juniors around doesn't mean senior devs will atrophy. It will ultimately come down to how people use these tools, and the mindset they bring to their work.
