Clive Thompson's NYT Magazine feature synthesizes 70+ developer interviews from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple, landing 200pts and 367 comments on HN. Most interviewees see AI as augmentation, but an Apple engineer's dissent — that automation removes "the fun and fulfilling aspects" of craftsmanship — captures the cultural cost that metrics miss. Willison, Yegge, Anil Dash, and Ptacek are among those quoted.
