alt Hacker NewsYou've essentially promoted yourself from coder to engineering manager, trading syntax fatigue for the mental marathon of refereeing specialized AI developers to ship v3-quality code on the first try.

Some see it as a promotion other (like me) as a demotion. I still prefer to do it myself, although I like code reviews done by AI, they do help to make code a bit better.
Indeed. AI is bumping everyone up to manager level, and having dealt with long PR feedback cycles with humans for years - I don't mind the promotion. Also shipping a v3 is so much nicer than shipping a v1 and dealing the all the corner cases in production.
Before AI, myself and everyone else I knew was drowning in tech debt. And now with AI we are treading water.
