R has the same problems as far as I'm aware, though it doesn't form the core of a lot of modern CI of course!

There's probably a correlation between people who are aware enough of reddit's practices and policies to want to switch to Lemmy and people who are engaged in or by political discussion.
I booked a flight recently, the translation engine was obviously having issues so instead of giving helpful labels for form fields it was stuff like: "{{ name.first }}", which I could figure out for the most part, but then on submission I got an error with no description at all. I opened the dev tools and resubmitted the form to find the API response which gave me the actual error. 2 pages previously a form field hadn't been set correctly by the web page (it was a drop-down, I selected an option, the error said it was null). I managed to force the field to populate properly and hey presto, submission works. Ridiculous.
How is what you're describing different to what the author is talking about? Isn't it essentially the same as "AI do this thing for me", "no not like that", "ok that's better"? The trouble the author describes, ie the solution being difficult to change, or having no confidence that it can be safely changed, is still the same.
