My professional career:

Year 0-12: Coding lots, learning lots.

Year 12-22: A product I built really took off. Now primarily building new stuff by talking to other engineers. Lots of product management/politics. Atrophying coding skills.

Year 22-28: I'm tired of building by talking. Re-learning coding.

Year 28-: "Here's this thing called Claude Code". I interface with it by... talking.
