What is stopping you?

Probably "I miss coding by hand and being paid for that".

Might be a 9-5 coder.

Personally I let Claude handle most code while I do some coding challenges by hand on the side to keep the brain sharp.

It would be better if someone knew or thought about where the way leads...

		Using AI more efficiently on your coding tasks? The software engineering aspect of human review is still an indispensable skill on the age of AI. Will just relying on AI to code everything for you, while you just review and make decisions, keep your coding skills sharp? (At worst, atrophy your manual coding skills)

What's wrong with being a 9-5 coder?

		It's when I wrote some code at work. I couldn't easily complete the task. Each day I go to work and write even more code. The task is far from complete. I have written hundreds of thousands of code so far. I seem to be closing in the completing the task nowadays, though. It has been 5 years so far.

		Nothing wrong with a 9-5 coder IMHO by itself.

Thing is if you do things by hand or do not, It's still for company. You'd be penalized in some cases for not using.

For personal software yes it's a good exercise.

I really don't. I've realized I never liked coding. I liked designing and watching manual tasks become autonomous.

So AI software development is basically giving me everything I want: see a problem, iterate on the design I think will fix it, try it out. And then it works.

I have personal Android apps which "I developed" by having Claude update the react native hot reload view as I used them for the main application, and the biggest change in my home server infrastructure has been retooling it to support the fact that almost all the apps I use going forwards will be built and hosted locally.
