I don't buy this line of pro-AI reasoning. It sounds like more work with less reliable results than just writing the code myself.
First of all, nobody is writing and open sourcing their own XML parser in 2025, so that's hyperbole.
Second, the boilerplate to use most XML libraries can be copy/pasted out of their docs. So where is AI saving you time here? The prompting and other BS is a waste of time and just looks silly, and you still have to read and understand the code. At best it seems like breaking even.
