Pre-Agent Nostalgia

24 days ago

The author expresses nostalgia for the traditional methods of coding before the advent of coding agents.
They miss the process of searching for solutions online, reading documentation, and the craft involved in writing code manually.
Despite recognizing the efficiency and effectiveness of coding agents, the author feels a sense of loss for the 'friction' that made coding enjoyable.
The author acknowledges that ignoring new technology is not feasible once it's known to improve work, likening it to 'the cat's already out of the bag'.
The post concludes with an invitation to subscribe to the author's RSS feed and a reference to a previous post titled 'Features for no one (AI edition)'.
