This is interesting but sounds insane to me. At my startup the code has been 100% written by AI agents for the past 6 months. It’s like John Henry vs the Steam engine, time to give it up. The human job which is harder to replace is product manager. Understanding what is valuable to the customer and what the product needs to focus on.

Why is it time to give it up? Are you putting out more features than them? Is your startup performing better than their company?

I say this as a person who uses AI for my job, but if someone isn't doing what you are doing and it's working for them, why bother?

In my experience, AI code is really hard to maintain and overly complex which creates unexpected behavior and hard to catch bugs. I inherited some vibe coded repos in my company and it's been really painful removing all the unnecessary complexity
