Right, just how back in the day, people who loved writing assembly hated high level languages and people who found assembly too tedious loved compilers.
Picasso explicitly wanted his designs (for cutlery, plates, household items he designed) to be mass-produced, so your question is not as straightforward as you make it to be.
What is the connection to machine generated code? He designed the items manually and mass produced them.
No one objects to a human writing code and selling copies.
Apart from that, this is the commercial Picasso who loved money. His early pre-expressionist paintings are godlike in execution, even if someone else has painted a Pierrot before him.
I very much understand the result of code that it writes. But I have never gotten paid to code. I get paid to use my knowledge of computers and the industry to save the company money or to make the company money.
Do you feel the same way when you delegate assignments to more junior developers and they come back with code?
