Who's this "we" you speak about. There is a small subset of programmers who have become effectively become managers and ask their AI employees to do things. The rest of us still regularly read and write code.

I’d love to see some numbers on this, but this is not my impression from the communities I participate in (such as the Elixir forum.). Amongst programmers who are employed, I suspect it is a majority at this point who use agents to write code. It is hopefully a small minority who never read code, but it’s certainly growing.
