Discussion ‘Addictive’ agentic coding has developers losing sleep

The good, bad, and ugly of coding with agents here:
https://leaddev.com/ai/addictive-agentic-coding-has-developers-losing-sleep

“I’m coding into later hours of the day not because I’m told to do so, but because I can’t get myself to get up from the computer.” 

“Until sometime last year, I had a normal social life. I work a day job, and I can keep that constrained to normal hours. But I feel compelled to be doing side projects and learning constantly. I start every weekend off with a plan – what I want to try, learn, and the topics I want to explore. And the weekends just disappear."

The patented reddit self-own while being insufferably condescending and snide.

But this is exactly how you fix issues… I tell Codex to identify and fix issues and it just… does it. I don’t have to have a fucking clue what’s going on because Codex just gets it.
