> Either be a programmer and code, or be a delegator and delegate Even if you just enjoy programming for the sake of programming, you can use it to review your code and then hand verify its findings, or prototype and explore feasibility of something you will in the end fully code yourself. For most people that enjoy programming there are still tasks they don't enjoy, like making a bunch of cross-language bindings for…

Nope. You can't. Expectations and deadlines aligned with code agent usage. No one let you spent x5 time coding things yourself

The golden age…

Using AI for hours and hours every day has got to leave a new skill set in the human users. It's hard to sit there an…
