alt Hacker NewsI predict we are less than 12 months away from the pendulum swinging back to hand coding but dragging ai pair programming into the workflow. This is why I don’t worry too much about this.
I can predict this because I’m building such a thing for myself as are many others. It seems to be where the tao of slop is going.

I’m doubtful. I’ve seen increasing hands-off work where bots are now replying on PRs, tickets, and even DMs!

Not a chance.
For your personal projects or as a hobby, absolutely. But in a professional setting, coding by hand gone forever.

I’ll take that bet up to all the money in the known universe.

Yeah I could see this...folding claude code cli into the copilot-style experience could be good.
I actually agree with what you said! the subscriptions we are paying today is only a tiny fraction of what it actually cost AI companies like Claude and Codex. either it will shift into running those agents in your own setup or pay an absurred number. anyways as you said the pendulum will swing back for sure!
