In an age where software creation is free, the only currency is inspiration and taste.

Sometimes change creeps up on you without you realizing it. Before agentic coding, I had hung up my hat on programming. I found it simply too tedious.

Now, I code every day. Coding is fun for me again, because you are working at a higher level.

[Yi Lin @ylin_]

Yeah, no doubt if an experience dev ignores agentic coding, they are doing it wrong.

[Yi Lin @ylin_]

A major problem with agentic coding is you have a whole generation of developers who don’t learn engineering the right way. They don’t understand how to make something simple. It’s an experience you only get if you’ve spent years hand crafting code.

@marclou What if you don’t have a gf?

[Yi Lin @ylin_]

design by pixel is pretty much dead just as engineering by code, "coding" agents can now design much better than most designers, and you skip straight to functioning software

@levelsio Good, I never understood what mcp is, now I don't have to

[Yi Lin @ylin_]

In agentic engineering, don’t give the agent a design and ask it to code.

Give the agent a problem and ask it to both design and code.

@levelsio @ygg0f @marclou care to elaborate a bit?

[Yi Lin @ylin_]

Not sure I agree with this. When the busy work like programming is replaced by AI, you move up and become a PM, build more ideas at once, focus on marketing which matters more.

We are curious by nature, and our minds go to new nooks and crannies undiscovered before.

That is for the inventive amongst us however. Those who are stuck to their old ways will indeed find themselves without a purpose. But that’s just natural selection.

Hope everyone enjoys their last year of meaningful work!

@enghqii @rork I don’t know yet :) haven’t looked at the code. Will do in a bit.

.@rork built a dream Korean learning app for me with a single prompt.

I was going to spend a weekend to do this myself.

If you are an indie developer, the only moat you have is marketing. That's the only skills that matters now.

@davekiss I haven’t worked up my guts to share with clawd all of my credentials yet, but this post nudges me in that direction.
