i feel like we’ve been lying to ourselves for the last two or three years. we kept saying “ai is just a tool” or “it still needs a human to write the logic,” but have u seen what’s happening lately??.. its 2026 and we are past the point of just using chatbots for snippets. we are in the era of agentic orchestration where the bot basically does the whole sprint while we just watch. honestly, if your whole identity is being a “react dev” or a “python dev,” i think you are cooked. in the past we just upgraded to a new framework or a better language to stay relevant. but now the “new language” of programmin isnt code at all it’s training, fine-tuning, and modifying the ais themselves. if you aren’t learning how to actually steer the models and build the infra that runs them, you’re basically just waiting to be automated out of a job. i know ai coding is hurting the craft in some ways, but we literally have no options anymore. we have to use it wisely or get left behind. submitted by /u/alazar_tesema
