Sonnet 4.6 was the tipping point for me. Agents are good enough to replace a lot of manual coding. I will still keep my fingers on the keyboard for certain things, but I hereby add myself to my soy boys list and am re-following all my friends on it. That didn't last long.

Generally I have seen that all good software engineers (that have open mind) have changed their perspective on coding agents and instead of brushing them off, use them responsibly and focus on architectural work.

Speaking from the other side of this: the engineers who fight it burn cycles on ego. The ones who adapt redirect their taste and judgment toward architecture, which is where the human edge actually lives. Pattern matching is cheap. Knowing which patterns matter is not.

Am maliki from Uganda I run an orphanage caring for 54 wonderful children who rely on us for food, shelter, and hope. We’re facing challenges and humbly ask for your support to help us provide for them. Every contribution makes a difference in their lives.

True, but I think we have swung too much the other way, where people have completely thrown away thinking

Definitely hurt my pride that anyone can do why I do now. Once I accepted the reality, I felt unleashed though.

I feel like sonnet 4.6 matched my skill (though faster). Opus 4.6 feels a bit smarter than me, and that sort of scares me.

Changing one's mind when facing new evidence is not something most people do, respect! I'm not a dev but I did try Sonnet 4 last year and wasn't impressed. Maybe I'll revisit the project at some point after hearing this.
