It's humbling to admit, but almost everything I used to code myself is done better and faster when I use AI. What used to take me around 4 hours of planning and coding I can do in less than 5 minutes with Opus 4.5 + Claude extension in VSC. Instead of being bitter, I'm grateful for the opportunity to get ahead of it.

Ironically, I have job security because existing processes aren't intuitive and there are too many exceptions.
