Coding agents vs. manual coding

It’s been somewhere between 1 and 1.5 years since I last wrote a line of code. I wrote everything from Assembly and C to Python and TypeScript, and now I basically don’t write anything by hand anymore. After 30 years of coding manually, I sometimes wonder whether I actually liked programming, or if I only did it because I didn’t really have another option 😅 Whenever I think about getting back to coding, I immediately feel this sense of laziness. I also keep thinking about how long it would take, knowing that with my AI agents I can get the same thing done around 10x faster. So I’m curious for those of you who use AI for coding: do you still write code by hand? submitted by /u/JumpyAbies [link] [comments]
