Lmfao. The front page is littered with whining about the craft from people who can’t argue coherently why I should go back to getting yelled at by a linter.
It’s all “I can’t think anymore” or “software bad now” followed by a critique of the industry circa 2015.
Most of the people making cool stuff with LLMs are making it, not writing blog posts hoping to be a thought leader.
This feels perfectly justifiable to me. The subscription plans are super cheap and if they insist you use their tool I understand. Ya'll seem a bit entitled if I'm being honest.

IMO the code itself has become much less valuable. Most people in this thread are telling you to stay in the code but I would argue you need to stay current on how to architect a good project. What supporting infra do you need? Did you pick the right language? Did you break the project up into appropriate tasks? You need to become a really great PM.
Learn to wrangle your agent better than everyone else. Don't rely on the chat too much, break up your project into tasks, learn to use sub-agents.
Learn to use the new tools well.

Why are we pretending like the need for tenacity will go away? Certain problems are easier now. We can tackle larger problems now that also require tenacity.
Even right at this very moment where we have a high-tenacity AI, I'd argue that working with the AI -- that is to say, doing AI coding itself and dealing with the novel challenges that brings requires a lot of stubborn persistence.
Best way to solve it is to recognize that it's intentional and start calling it the anti-social epidemic instead. If we keep calling it loneliness then everyone thinks its something that is happening to them, instead of something they are doing.
