its crazy to me people think all ai coding is the same slop as it was in 2024. In the hands of someone who knows what good code looks like, it’s an amazing tool. Opus4.6 writes code i would have written, just faster.

It also thinks a lot faster. Watching it think through and debug complex issues is amazing. It’s exactly how i would have thought through an issue to debug it: it adds tests, debug printfs, and runs tests until it’s fixed. I recently saw it sit through and fix a bug in a streaming zerocopy llm markdown parser im working on for dave, it was amazing.

The only people who think agentic engineering is dumb in 2026 are the people who still think ai coding is copy and pasting things into chatgpt

I also like to hear it as someone who wasn’t a professional dev before. It gives me more confidence, although I would still get a pro pair of eyes before launching something serious.

Agreed. The speed of debugging is amazing these days. Used to be like an hour long back and forth, now it just 'thinks' through the issues and fixes.

True. What’s your monthly Claude bill? Just curious lol

What has agentic coding achieved for you product wise, that is not just building tools around agents? /

Totally feel you! It’s wild how far AI coding has come, it’s like having a partner who thinks exactly like you, but faster and tireless. Opus4.6 isn’t just a tool, it’s a teammate. Watching it debug and fix stuff is honestly inspiring, makes me want to level up my own code too!

Except it can't actually make or write code it just uses existing code written by humans and slops it together right.

I have no idea how to code, but need to learn. What AI(s) would you recommend using?

There is an old saying that applies: "a fool with a tool is still a fool". Claude and Codex are fantastic, doesn't mean they are perfect. These are new tools that need to be learned and used properly like all others before. For me this is a moment in history similar to when Turbo Pascal made it ea...

AI today is the worst it will ever be. 2026 is going to be a crazy year.
