I already know how to drive stick (trad coding), I don’t feel like I’m gaining much by switching to automatic transmission.

Yeah that's not the difference, lol. With AI coding you can get the same work done in an order of magnitude less time, without even knowing how to program.

The only comparison I can come up with is 3D printers, but even that's not as ridiculously fast and easy as AI coding. An average person can ask an agent to write a program, in any popular language, and it'll do it, and it'll work. We still need people intelligent enough to steer the agent, but you do not need to edit a single line of code anymore.
