chances are if you are nontechnical, agents can code better than you. It's probably more worth it to learn about computer science, system architecture rather then syntax.

Perhaps you would you disagree?

Id like to say the same for most "technical" people, most of my CS buddies have never built anything without an authority figure giving them directions (work/school) and seem to get really threatened at the idea that agentic coding will replace them, often coping with arguments about future, nonexistent issues.

Are there issues you foresee me running into?

I just meant your comment implied AI is a better coder than the general “you” which is an easy statement to say if you don’t know how to code. I don’t know your tech stack but I would be pretty nervous shipping a full AI generated project and taking payments. Lots of potential security vulnerabilities that can arise especially if you don’t know the bad patterns. I’ve seen some really dumb llm code
