I'm not even sure there is much room left for one.
There is very little alignment in starting assumptions between most parties in this convo. One guy is coding mission critical stuff, the other is doing throw away projects. One guy depends on coding to put food on table, the other does not. One guy wants to understand every LoC, other is happy to vibe code. One is a junior looking for first job, other is in management in google after being promoted out of engineering. One guy has access to $200/m tech, the other does not. etc etc
We can't even get consensus on tab vs spaces...we're not going to get AI & coding down to consensus or who is "right".
Perhaps a bit a nihilistic & jaded, but I'm very much leaning towards "place your bets & may the odds be ever in your favour".
