Coding with AI is really leaves you in a similar mental state as if you've just scrolled tiktok reels during that time.

Not if you don't scroll tiktok reels while your agent is coding for you.

Even if I read all the code and test it I never really feel like I know it the same unless it came out of me. You just don't get the feeling of how the code works

Even more true for (other) human written code for me... That "WTF would you do that?" which you're afraid will offend feelings if you even start to discuss it. At least when LLMs get their feelings hurt you can reboot them.
