alxgsv reflects on how AI changed his engineering motivation

In an October 25 Hacker News front-page post, alxgsv says AI now handles engineering tasks, so engineering challenges no longer drive him and he has turned to deciding what problems to solve. He used to lose interest once a product was finished. A year ago he spent months cleaning up AI-generated code for lettercarta.com; now he sometimes skips reading agent-written code and relies on other agents to find bugs. The reflection traces his shift from tidying AI code himself to checking less and focusing on problem choice.
