In the last few weeks there has been a trend in many work places where developers are bing asked to use AI mandatorily in their project for development. I personally have switched coding with the help of AI for my project and have done the same to my team members as well. We don't code anything without getting assistance from AI. We use GitHub copilot and in many work places they use different such AI agents for this. From what we have noticed, this gives a lot of advantages. Coding is faster and the AI agents also know a lot more things that a regular developer is struggling to crack.
Today I had a scenario where I was having a problem with pnpm package manager. I had version mismatch and it was causing a lot of issue. I took the help from GitHub copilot to troubleshoot the issue and it was an amazing experience. I remember the good old days when I used to struggle for these type of issues with limited knowledge and no idea where to look for help. Sometimes I might be able to find answers from Stack overflow but it is also not a guarantee that I would solve the issue. But today these AI agents are amazing and I was able to get my issue resolved within a few mins.

Considering the fact that they are learning everyday. The result is amazing and we just need to have some control over them. That is the only tricky part and otherwise they are brilliant and also fast in problem solving. It has been several weeks since I did some manual coding. Mostly I'm using agents to do the work for me and I manually verify each and everything. This makes my life easier and also reduces a lot of development time.
I also took the opportunity to make the agents review my existing code and provide me feedbacks. I usually don't straightaway make the changes. I first ask the AI to provide me improvement opportunities and I analyze it and then only I proceed with the changes. The most important thing we should note is that AI makes a lot of mistakes. I have seen many such mistakes and sometimes they even become a big blunder. I have had instances where I gladly thought that I reviewed the code. If not I would have shipped some nonsense live. We have to be very careful.
No wonder that AI is becoming mandatory these days and this is changing the technology world so much and I see some great opportunities coming out way. We cannot say no to AI anymore.
