We learned computer languages so we can ask computers to do work for us. It was out of necessity because there are no other ways.
If we can instruct computers with natural language 50% of the time, that's 50% less translation work for our human brains. I have no problem with not needing to write instructions in computer languages (no regex, no sed/awk, no python even) for day-to-day stuff.
Critical thinking, reasoning are another story. We can't let those skills atropied.

  It's a strange new world to get used to.

Me too. My current workflow is
"delete all code"
/clear
"update SPEC.md to add this, remove this"
/clear
"Read SPEC.md"
Fresh code generated!

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

  You mean like, the less noisy the process, the more insight and intuition we can access? Yeah.
  Or like the more we simplify, the more we can understand and create and align with what we really want?
  Like less code, less details, more space for what matters? More clarity?

    The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection; the water has no mind to receive their image.

    Yeah, I’m not too worried about it. It does make creation more pure.
