This story moved me so much.

It's like how I used to be a master codes craftsman, and I'd write beautiful code even a novice could understand. Clear, concise, 100% automated tested, maintainable for decades.

But frequently, my managers would castigate me. Tell me how my "velocity" was down. PIP me.

These days, I train AI how to write this beautiful code and I don't write a single line any more.

People wonder how I build such amazing things in a week now, yet don't write any code. I have trained master apprentices, gemma3, qwen3.5 and Kimi k2.5 who do the work for me.
