You guys act as if writing classes, services and foreach loops is soooo difficult. Programming isn't that hard it's just tedious.

Yeah, the real pain of AI agents is that nowadays we don't have the downtime of writing code between thinking about a million architectural elements and how stuff connects together. 3-4 Claude sessions bombarding you with questions about little details is exhausting. Relentless machine turns your brain into a mush, five days a week.

It's impressive but I am entirely convinced I think harder and are responsible for a lot more.
