>Here's a question, to people who delegate all their coding to AI agents now: What are you doing to keep your mind exercised in all this suddenly new free time you have?

If you have a lot more free time you're not taking full advantage of agents. The time saved coding allows working on 4-6 projects simultaneously, and the majority of work is the hard design/product decisions that the agents can't do well themselves. Working on the hard parts of half a dozen projects simultaneously is far more mentally taxing than just hand-coding a single project, and with that many agents there'll usually always be one with a question for you so you won't have much extra free time.

The majority of my time coding is not coding; it's thinking through the hard design/product decisions, as you said (or how business logic flows through the UI). The time coding is very, very explicitly putting those decisions into UI and backend logic in a way that would take me longer to explain perfectly to a bot than it does to code. LLMs have not saved me time on any serious project, aside from helping to scaffold things, because the results when I ask them to write a block are sub-par.
