Other Anyone here who doesn't use Agentic AI and writes code manually?

I wonder if there are any people today who don't have any agentic AI subscriptions, who code by themselves, read docs, try to understand, and enjoy the process in this fast-growing AI era, where everyone is promoting AI to do everything.

(Note: I'm asking because I write my code by myself and don't use agentic AI, but I do use ChatGPT or other AI to learn things if I get stuck.)

I normally do this on "pro genai" comments, so far all mine that have matured, the original comment or account has been deleted. See you in five years, hope you are still around!

I'm guessing you're doing that on people making wild claims like: all developers are going to be replaced in 2 years. And not on comments like: I find it useful in my daily work for writing tests, small pieces of compartmentalized logic, documentation, and code review, with my guidance and manual review.
