16-year veteran dev hasn't written a line of code in 2026 — agents run everything
thehumanbagelman · reddit · 2026-09-22
A developer with 16 years of professional experience and a CS degree says he hasn't written or reviewed a single line of code in 2026: he built his own tooling and testing infrastructure, and agents run all of it. 50–75% of his AI usage goes to personal infrastructure and tooling. He admits this makes him worse at coding without AI — and doesn't care, asking if that makes him a "vibe coder".
