I'm a big fan of Uncle Bob and his books. But we also have to take into consideration that he is speaking from the perspective of a person who has been coding for longer than most of us have been alive.
This means he has the experience, intuition, and taste to build the right constraints and guardrails around AI agents to make sure the code they generate is reliable.
For people who are new to the game, learning to read and write code should be a prerequisite to using AI coding tools for anything that is beyond a prototype or a hobby project.
