I too have enjoyed vibing some random shit on the side and not having to beg people to build features I want anymore, but knowingly shipping subpar agentic code at work still kills me a little. (Well there’s no pressure on me to ship, but as a self-respecting guy, I hesitate to say I’ll need 5-10x time to really get to the quality I want when 1x time already gets something working, except for really critical components.)
There has been so many projects that I never have had time to do that I've been able to acxomplish thanks to agents.
Setting up more precise automation for my home assistant, expanding android apps with features tha maintainer didn't want to add but I wanted to have, having agents troubleshoot issues in my homelab servers, writing apps from scratch to meet my needs. Ahh, I love it so much.

I appreciate your sentiment, but in my opinion this is the best our career has ever been.
This is the magical sci-fi future I always dreamed about, and it's getting better every quarter.
The amount of stuff I can do now, in terms of time and scope and volume, is unreal.
