I’m just a grumpy old man, but I like having to do it the hard way. I liked having to code the hard way too. With all the AI vibe coding stuff I now feel like I’m stupid for doing it the hard way. And I probably am. I would definitely think someone else was stupid if they were using an axe to cut down a tree when there’s a chainsaw sitting right next to them. Or if someone was writing assembly code when anything else would do just fine… I guess I feel sad that the AI gets to take over a lot of the mundane but also often times relaxing and fun parts.

I feel like I am still doing it the hard way, I just have to type 10x less into my keyboard to get the same amount of code out. But as soon as my understanding of the system diverges from its reality, I still do the old fashioned work of figuring out the difference and how to resolve it. It feels like a printing press replacing scribes to me.
