alt Hacker NewsFor me AI unlocked building things I just couldn't before. My creativity and ingenuity now have an outlet that wasn't possible without agentic coding tools. That's genuinely exciting. But I also keep wondering: how long until the level of abstraction I'm working at now gets automated too?
Is it really valid to call it "ingenuity" if you weren't able to execute projects before?
Gen-AI has not enabled me to develop anything I wasn't able to do before, and I consider myself to be an average developer.
