I’ve become so cynical this year.

What’s cynical about this? Everybody is modernizing their codebases for agentic development.

Cynicism is an attitude, and a choice. And comments like these are so cliche. AI is an amazing tool, and you have a volunteer helping to create the next best edition of a charity project.
