Agentic coding exists in this weird place where “builders” need to simultaneously believe that it does all the work for them but that nobody else would be able to replicate their product

the idea of “AI” making you a better worker, creator, etc relies on you being the only real person in the world it’s pure, uncut solipsism bc if you can use it, so can everybody else, and then what? how will you distinguish yourself? “better prompts”? sure, buddy.

no you see they have a secret trick up their sleeves: they're going to use the AI to write the prompts, too nobody has ever thought of that before!

The even weirder part is that they seem to think that working long nights and weekends prompting their agents is what is going to give them an edge on the competition and it's like they completely forgot what the point of the AI was
