This is so true... I am having issues with the change right now.. being older and trying to incorporate agentic workflow into MY workflow is difficult as I have trust issues with the new codebase.. I do have good people skills with my clients, but my secret sauce was my coding skilz.. and I built my identity around that..

The cure for me has been to write an agent myself from first principles.

Tailored to my workflow, style, goals, projects and as close as possible to what I think is how an agent should work. I’m deliberately only using an existing agent as a rubber duck.

It’s a very empowering learning experience.
