My take is that if you can clone what you need from a piece of existing software with a coding agent, it wasn't a particularly high moat in the first place. Whatever moat was there IMO was likely the bundling of it with everything else in the product you neither want nor need. Consider the godawful deal that was cablevision/DirectTV/Dish before streaming channels existed. Don't fight the future, run with it.

I truly do not understand the mindset that defends the status quo and its ridiculously wealthy overlords. They're going to screw you anyway, it's the American way after all, but embracing AI toolchains and mastering them is a near sure thing path out of the poverty trap.

As a controversial example, somewhere out there is the Robert Rodriguez of AI filmmaking. And it's going to be amazing when they emerge. And oh the bellyaching that will ensue from the bottom of the film industry foodchain, but it will not change the outcome that people who master the tools now will be the next generation of overlords tomorrow, equally in need of overthrow by revolution when that day comes.
