I'm loving the experience and i also realize that this part of me, the one which could write code is obsolete. Completely. Utterly obsolete. OK, so first i need to admit that i am not the best programmer, but i've been at it for 27 years.
These past months I've been working with two agents developing two things practically in parallel. And i've experienced the fastest, most motivating development sessions i ever had. Together with these two agents i was able to build two very complex systems that use all sorts of data gathering, then ETL into a format that can be queried and maintained, and it all ends up in some awesome web UIs. I used Them not only to write code, but to do the design and architecture, discussed the front end, the business reqs.
And what i can say, is that it felt like a conversation with a crazy fast person who did everything i needed in seconds. AS a tech guy i know what i want and i know how to describe it. That helped A LOT! I know when we lost context and yes, there were stupid consequences that we had to fix. But my impression is that many of these things i see criticized here refer to the people using it, less than to the AI and its output. From my point of view, the output is what i wanted, only 250x faster than i ever expected. And for the critiques targeting the AIs, after this i am sure that they will learn to fill in all those gaps. We will not be criticizing then. By then my only possible job will be to translate somebody's business reqs for an agent to implement as i speak.
