For years, I took pride in being the person who could quickly scan a codebase, navigate the terminal efficiently, and find the right information faster than most developers I worked with.
Lately, though, I've realized AI agents outperform me in many of those areas.
The answers I used to get by crafting Google searches and digging through Stack Overflow can now be found by AI in minutes. Some models are much faster than I am at identifying bugs, and they're often right. In my experience, GPT-5.5 through Codex can achieve close to a 90% success rate in bug detection and debugging.
Even something like writing reports,which I used to spend a lot of time polishing, can now be drafted into something more complete than I'd produce from scratch.
I don't really see AI agents as replacing developers anymore. I see them as a resource that has become difficult to ignore.
What things do you notice that AI does better than you? And how are you approaching multi-agent workflows, like MCP, anvita flow, Agent Protocol? That’s a challenge I’m looking to tackle next.
