AI coding is the one thing that got my back to programming. I got to the point in life, when my ability to focus is reducing, and I prefer to send the remaining energy elsewhere. I kind of gave up on programming, just doing architecture and occasionally doing very small programming tasks. It all changed when I discovered Claude Code and saw that the way it works, is kind of how I work. I also use a lot of grep to find my way through a new codebase, I also debug stuff by adding logs to see the context, I also rely on automated tests to tell me something is broken. I'm still very good at reading code, I'm good at architecture, and with these tools, I feel I can safely delegate the boring bits of writing code and debugging trivial things to AI. Yes, it's slower than if I focused on the task myself, but the point is that I'd not be able to focus on the task myself.
