"Real developers write their own original code and/or architecture plans."
Nice tired no true Scotsman argument. You literally sound like a stubborn boomer refusing to see the change. You sound ignorant, not wise.
I've created several multi-modal AI applications deployed in production; fully created through Codex and Claude code. SOC2 compliant and created in a month, not years.
You can be an old man, but you don't need to have an old man mentality.
You wouldn't hire someone who only knows how to use a typewriter in a world of computers. No big deal, right? "A computer is just 'another tool', why should I not be fine with my typewriter?"
Literally fucking blows my mind I'm even having this discussion on this website, with people who should know better.
Good luck, you will need it.
I am already in management. I will be just fine.
That explains why you know nothing. Good luck to whoever you manage, I do not envy them.
Would suck to have someone be your manager who refuses to even understand the new tools, much less use them; you will make a GREAT manager.
I'm honestly in disbelief that people in the field can be this purposefully ignorant, and proudly at that.
Your frequent astonishment indicates you have not been writing code very long. I also suspect you also may have some combination of ADHD or ASD, which would explain both your necessary dependence on a tool for relevance as well as your hostile defensiveness. Either way, in the long run, you will have trouble sticking around because tools eventually get replaced.
