I used to plan my lunch breaks around AI tasks. Pick the one task that's easy enough to just hand off, start it, go eat.
Came back more than once to find the agent had stopped two minutes in over some dumb question. Not even a permissions thing, it just sat there waiting for me to say "go ahead". Didn't even know it was stuck until I checked.
Feels like people are using it as a shortcut to dismiss products they don t like.
At the end of the day, devs have always relied on tools to go faster, frameworks, libraries, Stack Overflow, templates, all of it. AI is just the next step in that chain. Typing code was never the hard part anyway. Understanding what to build, making the right product calls, and handling messy edge cases is where the real work is.
AI doesn t change good vs bad builders, it just changes speed.
