Summary
Dave still dislikes AI intensely. He no longer enjoys syntax or learning new languages, so AI coding takes away drudgery, but it also takes away the creation, which is the part he loves. In about two months he went from writing 100% of the code for Podcast Index, Godcaster and Freedom Controller to about 10%, and he wasn't psychologically prepared for that shift.

I personally went from writing. 100% of every piece of code that goes into Podcast Index and Godcaster and Freedom Controller and everything else I'm working on. to I write probably 10% of the code now. by hand.
