If you wanna churn out loads of poor quality code with an AI agent, awesome. Remember, though: so can your manager, your product owner, or your boss.

What use are you if you produce the same slop as them but with a salary and workers rights (if any)?

The developers who will survive the AI slop age will be the ones who write high quality code with strong fundamentals within architecture. You will have a unique value above the AI that otherwise spaffs out code no one understands.

The ones who won't survive are the ones who think they've found a hack to do their job in 2 hours before logging off, because everyone knows about it. You're not some kid who followed the "automate the boring stuff with python" anymore, you're one of billions who all know you can type a prompt and get something that sorta looks correct.
