This has got to be the funniest and most memorable quote I've seen yet on the TDE mailing list. Bill is my/our spirit animal apparently.
Just yesterday I was thinking that I should do a programming project without ever using even single function name autocomplete, as a retro stunt to metaphorically poke my finger in the eyes of people who think they need lots of bloated tools to get things done, like an embodiment of the *exact opposite* of the trend of some people using AI to "write"/plagiarize much of their code, heh.
Likewise, I also look down on copy-pasting code from forums without understanding it, usually.
Crutches breed weakness and dispowerment and reduced freedom over time. Nowhere is that more evident than in recent times in our society.
