It’s interesting; I haven’t gotten that deep into agentic but use generative AI constantly as a rubber duck that can sometimes come up with something insightful that I missed slash a very enthusiastic junior developer. I generally use chat sessions, often give it specific tasks and then fix anything I don’t quite like. It’s been a great tool, almost like a search engine built for me, but it’s not an architect for me. It’s just a tool and fundamentally, it’s just replaced having dozens of browser tabs open all day.
It’s been quite good for my productivity and the best part for me is that I learn what I’m writing while I’m writing. I can just write things I already understand a lot faster than before. When I work with agentic, I find that I still have to deeply learn the system, but I’ll have to learn it when it falls over instead of at review time.
