For the last 20 years or so I’ve been trying out a new way of programming, one that (surprisingly) doesn’t use any LLMs or AI coding agents at all. It’s just me, a keyboard, and an IDE or text editor, writing code line by line—literally typing things like functions and curly braces.
I realize this sounds eccentric. What am I, some kind of minimalist? Actually, I’m what you might call an “early adopter.
Yours, not mine. I’m old enough that I look forward to never touching a fucking computer ever again in my life in a few years. Sadly, I have to dive into this AI aggravation that I didn’t need to finish my career. I make the best of it until I don’t have to. And then whether my job disappears or not is a matter of total indifference to me.

Fair point.
