There's a lot of good descriptions and observations on this article. But I don't like this language that just assumes we all use AI, we've all pulled away from the code. It all seems to be part of the collective brainwashing and psychosis that says "it's a new age now, everyone is doing it this way."

> It’s less coding than it used to be, or a different kind of coding. More describing and steering and deciding, less typing the actual lines.

Lots of us are still coding. A lot of the beloved infrastructure all these vibe-coded rocket rides are built with is still being hand coded by humans who care and want to build solid, good things.

Yeah I actually avoid AI on my own time to keep my skills sharp. I do not like using LLMs but I do realize it’s a necessary tool for my dayjob. At home, I do make an exception if I have to Google an API example but I transcribe by hand rather than copy paste.

You are right! Not everyone is using AI for coding. I see your point.

But I also disagree with your claim saying agentic coding is nay less of care or less engineering.

I have 13 years of industry experience and was doing hand coding with vim. But I adapted agentic coding which I believe is very empowering
