For me AI unlocked building things I just couldn't before. My creativity and ingenuity now have an outlet that wasn't possible without agentic coding tools. That's genuinely exciting. But I also keep wondering: how long until the level of abstraction I'm working at now gets automated too?

Is it really valid to call it "ingenuity" if you weren't able to execute projects before? Gen-AI has not enabled me to develop anything I wasn't able to do before, and I consider myself to be an average developer.

  I would say so ;-) Right now AI is a powerful tool for me. It helps me express ingenuity on a more abstract level, e.g. conceptual or product thinking rather than implementation details. Some of my current projects I could have built without AI, but not in the time I had. AI moved them from unrealistic to actually doable.

    What are these ingenious projects then, pray tell?

      Have a look at my blog! Is linked in my profile :)

        you have three entries, none of them seem to be about a specific project, all of them seem to be about ways of setting up agentic development. I'm not going to comb them for crumbs. Surely you can just tell me: what is, in your opinion, the best project to showcase what AI coding methods can achieve? Preferrably a project that is polished enough that it can actually be applied somewhere. I never get answers when I ask _what_ people actually build using AI. Please tell me.
