A vast number of things. There are a vast number of things I will accept having done in even mediocre quality, as in the old pre-AI world, I would never get to them at all.
Every friend with a startup idea. Every repetitive form I have to fill out every month for compliance. Just tooling for my day to day life.
Everyone thinks they're a startup founder now is a major part of the problem. Y'all are falling for the billionaire marketing. Anything that can be built with vibe coding for a startup can be instantly copied by someone else. This makes no sense.
Since most work on software projects is going to be done via coding, debugging, QA, etc AI agents you should prioritize finding ways to increase the velocity of these AI agents to maximize the velocity of the project.
>Are you that bad at it?
That is irrelevant.
>Is there anything you really have to get done regardless of quality right this second?
You are implying that AI agents have low quality work, but that is not the case. Being able to save time for an equivalent result is a good thing.
>Just write the code yourself, and stop training your replacement.
AI labs are the ones doing the training better AI.
Why?
I really cant wait until the inference providers 5x their prices and you guys realize you're completely incompetent and that you've tied your competency 1:1 to the quality and quantity of tokens you can afford. You're going to be a character from the movie idiocracy.
Of course you'll still be coping by claiming you're so productive using some budget kimi 2.5 endpoint that consumes all your personal data and trains on your inputs.
Opus 4.5 changed that and like every programming tool I've used in the past, I decided to sit seriously with it and try and learn how to use it. If coding agents turn out to be a bust, then oh well, it goes into the graveyard of shit I've learned that has gone nowhere (Angular, Coffeescript, various NoSQL databases, various "big data" frameworks). Even now one of my favorite languages is Rust, but I really took the plunge into the language before async/await and people also called it overhyped.
If coding agents are real, I don't want to be struggling to learn how to use them while everyone else is being 10x more productive. There's no downside to learning how to use them for me. I've invested my time in many hyped software frameworks, some good and some bad.
I never said they would.
>Of course you'll still be coping by claiming you're so productive using some budget kimi 2.5 endpoint
I would. I already run my persistent agent on Kimi 2.5 and use Kimi CLI.
