  • This was a relieving video. I thought I was the only a minority amongst the developers who got exhausted after a few hours of AI prompting. It is a natural thing. We are doing the creme layer, the ephiony of the task, this won’t be sustainable.
  • The other thing is that he had more than 2 decades of experience.I am not giving excuses, but still, that is a lot more than just a 2-3 year me trying to wrestle the concept of agentic engineering.
  • It was refreshing to see this, his enthusiasm is truly contagious. I want to build more now. But mindfully. His tools section is really wild.
  • I fit in the middle, I not a junior or a fresher anymore, I am not more than 2 years into the industry. Alas! I am in the middle. But still I think, its not doom and gloom, I am not going to be passive and let the AIs take over my brain.
