I've written code for almost 30 years, and the last 4 years I've slowly used AI more and more, starting with GitHub Copilot beta, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Gemini, Jules, Codex. Now I mostly work with Claude, and I don't write any code myself. Even configuring servers is easier with Claude. I still understand how everything works, but I now change how I work so I can do a lot more, cover a lot more, and rely less on people.

It isn't much different to how it works with a team. You have an architecture who understands the broader landscape, you have developers who implement certain subsystems, you have a testing strategy, you have communication, teaching, management. The only difference now is that I can do all this with my team being LLMs/agents, while I focus on the leadership stuff: docs, designs, tests, direction, vision.

I do miss coding, but it just isn't worth it anymore.

I'm in the same boat. Recently quit LinkedIn too and am working on my github.io page for people to contact me for potential opportunities. Have no idea if it'll work out or not, in the long run but tbh, I feel a lot better not being on these sites than vice-versa. Just my 2c :)

One tip I didn't see mentioned (though it's pretty common in tmux) is to use the default window layouts for organizing multiple panes. You do this with Ctrl + b followed by esc + <num>.

esc + 1: All windows take up equal space horizontally, and stretch the full vertical width

esc + 2: All windows take up equal space vertically, and stretch the full vertical width

esc + 3: The first window takes up half of the screen vertically, and all remaining windows divide up the space equally

esc + 4: The first window takes up half of the screen horizontally, and all remaining windows divide up the space equally

esc + 5: Windows are divided into two equal columns horizontally, and split remaining space vertically.

Even if I have to alter the sizes a bit usually, the pre-defined layouts are super useful for positioning different windows.
