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.
- nnehdi 3mo agoYou 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
- snovv_crash 3mo agoYour comment is as empty as the prose from am LLM. I worry about the level of discourse LLMs train us to accept as normal. Assuming, of course, that this is even human-written.
- nnehdi 3mo agoYou see, I am jut not afraid of LLLs, or I can cope with my fear. They are just piece of technologies:)
- snovv_crash 3mo agoYes, they are just technology. And just like we shouldn't try to roll down the road like the wheel of a car, we shouldn't try to talk like LLMs.
- inigyou 3mo agoThis comment amounts to "you said agentic coding is less engineering, but I think you're wrong" But somehow it takes five times as many words to say that. It doesn't feel AI-written, but could this be an effect of habitual AI use, that it trains a person to write extra words to disguise what they are saying?

- georgeburdell 3mo agoYeah 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.
