This is my personal opinion and I’m going straight to the point, no intro.

AI assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and others are so addictive for anyone who loves building things.

Software engineers are not going anywhere. Instead, we’re getting excavators and ditching our shovels.

I authored 192 commits this year (as of May 2026) without writing a single feature solely myself. I still edit files, but mostly out of convenience. If I need just one or two lines changed, it’s faster doing it myself than asking Claude.

I guess this was an intro 🤦
