AI coding assistants: how they changed my workflow
Where AI genuinely speeds me up, where it doesn't, and how I keep quality high while shipping faster.
AI assistants are now part of how I build — but the win isn't "AI writes my app". It's removing friction.
Where it helps most
- Boilerplate & glue code — forms, API handlers, config.
- Explaining unfamiliar code and legacy projects fast.
- Refactors and tests I'd otherwise put off.
- First drafts of docs and content.
Where I stay hands-on
- Architecture and data modelling.
- Anything security-sensitive.
- Reviewing every line before it ships.
Used well, it's like a fast junior pair-programmer — you still own the thinking, you just move quicker.
