Honestly, as a software engineer comfortable with agentic coding, this seems to be the best time to be working in tech.
I can literally build everything, end to end, right from my phone dictating with iPhone's voice typing.
It feels ridiculous that I could be walking around all day with my phone and work on cloud agents and just get AI to get things done for me. This feels pretty ridiculous.
Yes. there's some setup involved (github, ci, etc). But then it's done.
The hardest part of the job right now is to be able to think and correct your thinking before you commit anything to code. And even then, refactoring has become so crazy simple. But yeah, as someone who has always enjoyed architecture and design more than coding, this seems to be so much fun!
I feel even stupid writing this considering how anti AI I have been.
But, if I can write software while sipping coffee and walking around the city. This is a net win no?
