This is exactly my experience. It's interesting to see how some people are completely drained by agentic development (even though their management is not forcing them to be 10x engineers), and others thrive. I’d say those of us who thrive are in the minority, though.

The only thing that bothers me about this new era is that many projects are built on shaky foundations, as it is easier to ship, and expectations of delivery speed are often unrealistic. But that is more of a question of prioritizing quality and reliability, and not an inherent feature of development with AI.

Phind is a GPT powered search engine optimized for developers / technical documentation. It searches the web and tries to aggregate results from multiple web sites. Although there are instances where it references outdated versions of libraries, on balance, it significantly reduced my time spent on technical research.
