I would offload boring stuffs like HTML, CSS to AI agent.
Core problem solving would start from prompting my brain.
I have been in programming for decade now, building my startup now.
AI as boring co-pilot, I would anyday feel happy.
Agents speed things up, but they also take away some of the small aha moments you get while figuring things out yourself. I think it depends on whether you enjoy the process or just the outcome.
As an older programmer, I’m actually happier using AI to write code. We already know what good engineering looks like, and now we’ve got a new toy we can learn from and have fun with.

As a hobbyist and indie hacker, love it. As a professional maintainer - it made a dry job dryer, faster.
