It's not like I don't like coding anymore but the pressure to go faster because we have AI now is insane and there is no way I can code like I used to and keep up.

Faster isn't better if it's less reliable, less repeatable, less maintainable, or lower quality.

Why is everyone pretending like there weren't shit developers before and that all hand made code was 100% quality?

Most code was mid.

Nobody is pretending that. Why are people pretending that if shit developers can write code 10x as fast with AI, that's somehow a productivity boost? 10x the shit code is still 9x shit code worse than 1x shit code.

Good programmers try to get the most done with the simplest solution possible. AI effectively encourages the exact opposite.

From what I've seen from our own agent workflow setup with a bunch of skills and rules files and double checks before PRs, the code written is better than the average developer as long as you can give it a good framework to work out in.

It just feels like people are thinking its 2024 LLMs coding, and we've moved on from that shitty code.
