Developer blog post reflects on AI coding shift away from low-level craft
A programmer published a personal essay describing growing unease as the industry moves toward 'vibecoding' and AI-assisted architecture design, away from hands-on, detail-oriented coding. The post traces the author's eight-year journey into low-level programming, cycle counting, and writing machine code by hand, and laments that these skills are becoming less valued. The author frames it explicitly as a personal journal entry rather than industry analysis.
