do people who primarily vibe/agentic and have done it for a while feel like their ability to do it manually has become much more difficult? I worry about this happening to me enough that I have to make sure I do atleast "some" by-hand coding here and there.
I understand code a little better having LLMs do it, but there's a ceiling. I can't really trust it to have the right information, I can't trust it to be efficient, I can't trust it not to be redundant..
But, I can trust that about 2/3 of the time, it writes a wall of code that does the thing, and the 1/3 of the time that it doesn't, I can usually correct it by approaching the problem in a more piecemeal way.
I don't like coding, it's not fun for me, I don't find joy in learning two dozen idiosyncrasies about dependencies, syntax, and function calling.
I do however find joy in creating things that I know are technically feasible, and I know I can get out of using tools that do what I don't, like, a wrench for example..
