AI Coding Is here to stay

A developer shares personal reflections on how AI coding tools have reshaped software development, including killing the traditional tutorial YouTube niche. Practical tips are offered: reset context windows after 100k-200k tokens, avoid pre-made MCP/agent configs in favor of project-specific rules files, ask follow-up questions to learn from AI implementations, and run two parallel agent instances at most. The author also promotes their own React ASCII animation library (AskGen) built in under two days using Claude Opus and Codex, and teases an AI-first interactive coding learning platform.
