Yes-pressing

The act of reviewing, accepting, and shipping AI-generated code without writing it yourself often by repeatedly pressing “Yes”/ "Accept All" button in AI coding tools like Claude or Cursor.

Not the same as blindly clicking through. A good yes-presser reads the output, steers the AI, and owns every line that ships. A bad one just... presses yes.

The defining skill of software engineering in the mid-2020s. Less about syntax, more about judgment.
I didn’t write this feature, I just yes-pressed it.

Built this entire thing by yes-pressing.
