I highly respect Antirez, and as an Italian fellow programmer, for me, he's like a legend!

Although reading this article makes me quite sad; I consider myself an average, mediocre programmer, but I enjoy writing code since it's a way to build the mental model of a problem and to solve it iteratively.

I obviously use agents and all the new fancy tools, but if a great programmer like Antirez says that it's over, I think I'm not so faithful about my future as an engineer.

From another Italian fellow: stop following people and do your own thing, it will be worth it no matter what influencers says

All AI stocks are plummeting right now. Go your own way and don't listen to tech predictions, no matter how much you revere a person. Often they are all wrong.
