I've been programming for well over a decade, but as a founder I wear many different hats so I had a front end developer to help take some of the load off.
But AI coding got to the point where, for me personally, it took less of my own time and effort to work directly with the AI (Claude Code) to do the front-end tasks required compared to working with the developer, reviewing their code, etc.
I'm not "vibe coding" or adding technical debt.
> you could have done it without the AI.
Technically anyone could do anything, but there are finite things in this world like the number of hours in a day lol
> according to studies.
Great, I don't care about the "studies". I'm talking about how things work for me personally in the real world and giving a concrete example of how AI spend has replaced an employee but you are welcome to ignore that
Also, it should be noted that in studies, the conclusions are typically based on an average or median, so some people will see a benefit, and some people won't... and that will be based on a number of factors
