The original title is "The AI Senior Dev Dilemma: Am I Coding or Just Prompting?"

Short summary

A senior developer reflects on using AI agents to build an Angular app without deeply learning the framework, questioning whether this makes them a 'vibe coder' or simply efficient. The manager is satisfied with output pace, but the author grapples with imposter syndrome and the diminishing value of hand-writing boilerplate. The post raises an open question about what skills matter when AI handles implementation.

• •Senior dev used AI agents for Angular project, learned little about the framework
• •Manager is happy with delivery pace; author questions if deep learning still matters
• •Raises broader question about developer identity in the age of AI-assisted coding
