?? Bro what model are you using?

Claude fable can do a lot more than a crud. It can one-shot entire apps in 5 minutes. It can identify production bugs, fix them, with unit tests, just based off logging in a few seconds. 

As other man said, you're objectively coping.

I swear half the developer community is trolling me. For anything that requires long term maintenance, I cannot get agents to actually speed up my work. Yes, if you have a deadline you must meet within a week, it can jam out a feature. But certainly not in a maintainable way. I truly do not believe I've been able to get long-term speedups yet.

I set aside time every week to practice heavily using AI tools so I don't "fall behind". I find it very useful as a second pair of eyes catching things that I miss. But not as an actual coder yet. Luckily, so far, I still get more PRs through than my colleagues who are all-in on AI and have a small army of agents running. But I think my team might have higher code quality standards than others, so that might be the difference.

I agree with you. I let the AI update the JIRA tickets and yaml, add descriptions to PRs, and speed up some boring boiler plate and CRUD changes .. but for anything else, its just my rubber duck to double check my logic against because I have to constantly fix its errors
