And the real maddening part is that search engines have been so enshitfied to make way for AI that's wrong like 9/10, so you're forced to rely on it for answers because if you try google, the snake wraps around and eats it's own tail giving you an AI answer! 
My personal code is shitty as ever, in a good way. I still feel pretty sharp, but I’m doing my best to work on a personal project at least an hour a night. Nothing compared to when I was younger but it’s all I can budget for now. I don’t find myself reaching for an agent for personal code so much as I find myself reaching for a chatbot when google search fails me. It’s like stack overflow if they were nicer and quicker but also wrong more often. But I try to avoid that just so I’m not getting in the habit of dulling my research/debugging skills either.
I noticed my brain going straight to not wanting to code once and wanting to just offload to the LLM and that’s when I started taking my personal project time more seriously. This shit’s not gonna rob me of my enjoyment in my longest standing hobby which is also my living.
Yeah I've had a very similar experience but it sounded like you've had more pressure to adopt AI in your life so I was curious. Thanks for sharing your perspective, it's reassuring.
