What is the point of this comment? Am I supposed to stop all critical thinking since someone else had a different opinion?

Both? AI is good enough to generate a first pass for an increasingly large number of projects. An engineer using AI can create an even larger amount. But muscle memory and expertise are not fixed. They fade over time without use. If you&#x2

In an ideal world, something as nebulous, subjective, and unquantifiable as "taste" would never be the sole purpose of a technical practitioner. That so many developers believe this, is surely a sign of the fields impending death.

OpenGL 1.x is older than the hills.

Trying to learn Vulkan as a first API is doable, but you'll probably burn yourself out by the time you've gotten a triangle on the screen (unless you vibe code everything, in which case, you're lame).
