LLM coding assistants didn't create a split between craft-lovers and make-it-go developers. They revealed one that was always there.

For craft-lovers, what's being bypassed isn't the output but the act itself. Marx called this separation from the act of production. But the alienation isn't coming from the LLM. It's coming from a market that penalizes whoever produces output more slowly.

Why craft-lovers are losing their craft

This is a damn good article, and really makes me think about where I fall on the spectrum. I didn't have to think very hard, I side firmly with Lawson. I firmly believe that code is a craft, and I take pride in the time spent writing the code, not just in the product itself. I mourn the impending loss of that kind of counter-culture approach to programming. Which is ironic because I don't think it's even the mainstream way of looking at coding... most devs I know would side with Orchard. Coding is a means to an end.
