I find it painful as well. I actually find agentic coding counterproductive. I typically use LLMs the “old way”: web chat interface, asking questions and searching. I write the code by hand. This makes me 2-3x more productive than before (I guess with agents I could be 5-10x more productive but the price to pay is not worth it)

I was like this too. I found pride for myself on only using the web chat. But being constantly bombarded by titles like "Look what crazy software project this accountant built with X agent!!!!" makes me worry that I'll stay behind if I don't adapt to this new model. I think after all, AI is here to stay, and it's evolving a lot faster than we can keep up
