> Before AI, both camps were doing the same thing every day. Writing code by hand. Using the same editors, the same languages, the same pull request workflows. The craft-lovers and the make-it-go people sat next to each other, shipped the same products, looked indistinguishable.
"Writing code by hand" - more result oriented engineers became managers.
Editors - I don't believe Vim/Emacs used by both camps evenly.
Languages - in my field, most make-it-go people use Python and when large data is involved Python/Java with Hadoop. The craft-lovers prefer bespoke solutions when feasible, running it in a single box.
Version control - may be, but only after it got popularized by the GitHub.
Products - would make-it-go people ever create the 'git' in the form that made it a success?
