I think AI is in a unique state right now where it's not smart enough to replace software developers, but it is smart enough to interpret logic and accelerate workflows by turning any kind of scribbles into code. It's really only as good as the user right now, but at times I feel like I started to lack the ability to do once basic things and it has only been 4 months since I've fully switched to such workflow. The question is if I am becoming better at thinking and planning at the expense of losing the ability to turn words into code or if this is a larger kind of regression that I am experiencing that is making my overall capabilities drop. Although I am becoming faster and better at using AI I can keep more agents busy with less effort, plan larger scopes and keep more moving parts in my brain which is completely different than what I used to do which was keeping the entire source-code in my brain. I can still recall pretty much every project I ever interacted with and tell you exactly how any part of it works or the vague code flow which made me really fast at figuring out bugs and fixing them. Of course I cannot do that anymore with new projects and rely on AI to figure bugs out. The kicker here is that instead of knowing how an application works from knowing the sourcecode instead I know how an application from the abstract user-interaction flow which can develop inconsistencies since there's no ground truth anymore and that part worries me, but I do maintain a strong documentation now - something I never used to do since I have the unique capability of recalling the entire project I am working on - which ironically also improves agent performance since they have something to work from on fresh sessions instead of reinventing the wheel and having to re-explore. Only time will tell if this is a disaster in the making, but I am at least 3 times faster than I would have been without AI. In some cases I cut down work that used to take me weeks to around a day, but that's mostly UI related that never needed any critical thinking to begin with.
