Do programmers even feel like programmers anymore?

Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.

I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.

Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.

I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.

Picking a launch day/time for LineageLens — when is your community actually online?

We're locking in the launch window for LineageLens (open-source AI code provenance "git blame for AI-generated code") and I want to time it for when the most people are actually around, not just follow a generic playbook.

Trying to get this right, so I'd value real input from this crowd:

- Day of week which days do you see the most activity here? Mid-week, or does that just mean more competition for attention?

- Time of day is there a window where this community is most online? And does it skew US, Europe, or India?
