How AI is changing the work of developers
Coding agents already write, test and refactor large parts of code — architecture, product sense and review are the new core skills.
60%of typical tasks can be done or assisted by AI
| Task | AI impact | How | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boilerplate and routine code | AI can do most of it | Agents generate and wire it up. | |
| Tests and refactoring | AI can do most of it | Agents write tests and refactor across files. | |
| Debugging | AI assists, you decide | AI proposes causes; you confirm and fix the right one. | |
| Architecture and trade-offs | Stays human | AI is a sparring partner, not the decision maker. | |
| Code review | AI assists, you decide | AI catches bugs; humans own quality and security. |
