Video Awesome · 15w It's a disease... A senior developer with 16 years of experience shares a critical, first-hand assessment of AI coding agents after six months of heavy use. The core argument is that coding agents function like a 'disease' — developers start small, gradually stop reading generated code, and eventually lose understanding of their own codebase. The post uses a real-world example of a Kubernetes app developer who vibe-coded for months only to discover a 700-line god object with 110 switch cases. The author argues that the real victims aren't junior vibe coders but senior developers who, under industry pressure to ship faster, zone out and blindly accept AI output. The conclusion is that hand-writing all code is over professionally, but the ability to read and write code remains a critical skill worth maintaining personally. 76 36 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/software-is-entering-a-new-era-fslh9ggnk "Software is entering a new era") Video Awesome · 11w Software is entering a new era Drawing a parallel between the Swiss watch industry's quartz crisis of the 1970s and today's AI-driven shift in software development, the argument is made that when a core capability becomes cheap, value moves elsewhere. Just as mechanical watchmakers had to pivot from precision to brand and identity, developers can no longer justify their value purely through code production. Technical competence remains a baseline requirement — with GitClear data showing AI-assisted coding is already causing a surge in duplicated code and a drop in refactoring — but the higher-value work now lies in understanding problems, shaping products, making trade-offs, and knowing what not to build. The Nintendo Game Boy is cited as a bonus example of how using boring, reliable technology to solve the real problem often beats chasing specs. 86 19 [See all Awesome archives](/sources/awesome-coding/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/06","name":"Best Awesome Posts — June 2026","description":"The most upvoted Awesome posts from June 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of/2026/06#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/it-s-a-disease--jjyx0mbdg","name":"It's a disease..."},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/software-is-entering-a-new-era-fslh9ggnk","name":"Software is entering a new era"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Awesome","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/awesome-coding/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"June 2026"}]}]} ```
