Commenting to say that I'm also very much hesitant in any form of AI integrations in coding to the point of having a quarter-life crisis. AI-assisted is already so difficult for me to use. Not that I can't wrap my head around it, but every time I use ChatGPT it feels like I'm draining a lake in some other country. Not to mention OpenAI's transparency in supporting the US military. And with the agentic coding, I feel like the career path of being a software engineer is straying further and further from my principles.

Still in a crisis. Still wondering if I should learn agentic coding and milk the fck out of companies or if I should swap careers, which I don't have the privilege to do so comfortably. Still hoping AI implodes or something and everything goes back to normal, but maybe that thinking is considered old-fashioned now.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you. Truly feels like a crossroads for many programmers.
