I find it odd how much I feel like I could take or leave AI coding. It’s like - the rise of the lightweight IDE’s - SublimeText, Atom, VSCode, I feel like I couldn’t live without. Coding agents? If they’re not built into my workflow I’d hardly use them, and even built into my workflow? I forget they’re there so much I wouldn’t know they were missing. Odd considering I’ve hopped in most past trends - docker, etc.
