Multiple attendees we talked to had conference badges that said something along the line of, “I haven’t written code in N months.”

Negative aura. Reminds me of people flagrantly proud about illiteracy. Ick.

I hate that a technology built without any semblance of ethics or regard for the planet writ large can be "normalized" irrespective of utility. No thanks.

They mentioned reflection though, so we'll call it a draw.
