Notes -
AI is business class. What I figured out recently is that while AI is making my development more comfortable it doesn't make me more productive. For me dev work has always been primary problem solving and writing the code secondary. So I spend more time on logic, understanding and occasionally debugging. And human brain does seem to have limited capacity for decision making and understanding per day. It is like long haul flight - arrive at the same time at the airport. But the seats are nicer and you can nap in the full flat ones.
I'd say it makes some parts of development for me way more productive. Where I could have spent hours researching how to do a certain thing with certain API by reading the docs and browsing StackOverflow or such for examples applicable to my specific case, now I can ask LLM and get the same in minutes. It's like having Wikipedia instead of going to the library and looking up stuff in the Britannica manually. Huge time saver. But definitely does not replace other parts of development - like figuring out what you actually need to do and how given the requirements and limitations you have.
