This is so bizarre. I wrote an extremely similar blog post in March 2023: "In the Age of AI, Don't Let Your Skills Atrophy"[1]. It even was on HN![2]

Actually, this is not bizarre. The author clearly read my post. A few elements are very similar, and the idea is the same. The author did expand on it though.

I wish they had linked to my post with more clarity than under the word "eroded" in one sentence.

At first I was a bit skeptical, having once written a blog post along the same idea as someone else did entirely independently. However after comparing the lede in both here uh, I have to say it is suspiciously similar.

I want to add that the author engaged with me and added more attribution. <3

people can arrive to the same conclusions, I would be hesitant to claim someone copied you unless the text or the structure is pretty similar
