Admit to having drank the koolaide, it is the first step. I wrote an entire system with tech I barely understand (duckdb), next.js etc, made 7 to 10 iterations per day, and multiple new functions and integrations in hours all while doing my main job. What does the code look like ???. It works, I do not care. Can the AI modify it in under 5 minutes, yes. New features that would take minimal a week, got done in 2 to 3 minutes. Did the AI ever complain, no it did not. Anyone who thinks they will be hand coding going forward is completely fooling themselves. The AI tests better than most engineers. When asked it builds flawless test harnesses and even suggests better solutions. Never going back.
