I will just say that AI is forcing me to document and write a lot more than I used to, and I feel it's super boring yet beneficial for everyone, there are no more excuses to procrastinate on those aspects.
The difference from before was: all stakeholders lived on a shared yet personal interpretation of the domain (business, code, whatever). This often leads to wastes of times, onboarding issues, etc, etc.
LLMs are forcing me to plan, document and define everything, and I think that's making the codebases/documentation/tests/prs and myself all better.
I’ve been building a tool to help me co-manage context better with LLMs
When you load it to your favourite agents, you can safely assume whatever agent you’re interacting is immediately up to speed with what needs to get done, and it too can update the context via MCP

What we find (or used to find) interesting (hacking code), the AI is doing and what we used to hate doing (writing documentation) we do that now.
Truly bizarro world we live in.
I remember a meme two years ago "We expected AI to do our laundry and chores so we could write and paint and instead we got AI to write and paint so we can do our laundry and chores".
This is essentially the programming equivalent.
