Honest take: I work less now with maybe slightly faster results while the output quality is probably about the same. Some bugs sometimes fall through, but when hasn’t that been the case?

I take effort to write specs for the agent and I take effort reading PR’s but thats maybe an hour of work. Obviously there are meetings, sometimes tasks require more planning, sometimes I investigate production problems/data more manually, but overall - I feel I work less after agents became a thing. Kind of ashamed of it tbh.

And at the same time they talk about "competent developer"s

Lol, it's not sustained 50x for every task every minute.

But there are definitely many tasks that used to take a very long time that now take almost no time at all, and that can be delivered in parallel with other tasks.
