I used to be proud of these skills. Now AI agents do them better.

Summary

The author reflects on how AI agents now outperform them in code navigation, debugging, and report drafting, and asks others about experiences with multi-agent workflows like MCP, Anvita Flow, and Agent Protocol.

For years, I took pride in being the person who could quickly scan a codebase, navigate the terminal efficiently, and find the right information faster than most developers I worked with. Lately, though, I've realized AI agents outperform me in many of those areas. The answers I used to get by crafting Google searches and digging through Stack Overflow can now be found by AI in minutes. Some models are much faster than I am at identifying bugs, and they're often right. In my experience, GPT-5.5 through Codex can achieve close to a 90% success rate in bug detection and debugging. Even something like writing reports,which I used to spend a lot of time polishing, can now be drafted into something more complete than I'd produce from scratch. I don't really see AI agents as replacing developers anymore. I see them as a resource that has become difficult to ignore. What things do you notice that AI does better than you? And how are you approaching multi-agent workflows, like MCP, anvita flow, Agent Protocol? That’s a challenge I’m looking to tackle next.

The post compares AI agents to 'rockstar developers' who create clever but unmaintainable code, pointing out that agents lack memory of their own actions. It recommends using visible conventions like AGENTS.md, ADRs, and tests to keep agent-generated code understandable by the team.
