Where did you get the idea that Zig is an "easy" language?
Most of these takes seem pretty agreeable to me. I would push back on the premise a bit in specific cases, like when you have a manager that always seems to want something new and changes their mind all the time. You need to insulate yourself from that stream of wasteful work by just not doing it until it's obviously necessary.
speed alone doesn’t make someone a good programmer
OP didn't make that claim. They said all else being equal fast is better than slow. They also said that in their experience, the best programmers they knew were good because they were fast (not withholding other potential reasons they were good).

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.
"crushing it" might be a bit superlative but sure
It literally cannot come up with novel solutions because it's goal is to regurgitate the most likely response to a question based on training data from the internet. Considering that the internet is often trash and getting trashier, I think LLMs will only get worse over time.
Seems pretty similar to DBOS
