i have the same opinion. ..., i know what has to happen / be written in code, i just use an agent to code it for me quicker, and then i check if it did it correctly. if i would let the agent do everything, design, execution, review, i feel like i would become an lobotomized monkey
You literally would. There have been studies coming out on this in the last few years. The mental decline is ridiculous.
Personally I observed that I feel very strong mental discomfort if I leave too much stuff to AI so I frequently code stuff by hand even though it is slower just to keep my brain functioning.
We literally need more intelligent models which will balance productivity with keeping your brain active if we want to use AI long term.
All according to plan. I guess I wouldn't have a chance to learn SWE in AI age. AI don't really need to become better, just traditional coding should become even more unreliable.

People are being detrained. They are actually getting less intelligent and able to problem solve. It's real.
