> You're spending more time orchestrating than creating.

Orchestration is a form of creating. I've lead teams of programmers; while it is different than orchestrating AI, programmers typically require less hand-holding, it is not so different in how it is a form of delegating effort to achieve your creative goals.

> The agents aren't the problem. Your brain is.

If anything, my worry is that relying too heavily on agents will cause my knowledge to be forgotten and my skills to atrophy. I don't particularly want to stop programming so much as it is that I want to develop software as part of a team. That team now includes some AI agents, as well as humans.

The need to write code isn't going anywhere. I expect that in the very long term it will retain value, as developing expert level programming ability will be a difficult challenge when so much can be accomplished with little to no such ability.
