8 months of working with AI agents

The rapid progress in AI leaves you with two choices: adapt and start putting it to work, or stay behind while people with half your experience move ahead of you.

Lately I’ve started letting go of some of my beliefs about my work as a developer. Writing code and solving problems were my main motivation. The sense of achievement from cracking a stubborn problem was what drove me.

At the same time, I felt that a big part of how I express myself and my ideas was being pushed into the corner of “practicality”. Building something that made me happy never seemed practical enough to pay attention to. Going deep into the technical details made me forget the huge sense of achievement and satisfaction that comes from turning your creative ideas into real products and focusing purely on the creative side.

I left the technical details to AI agents, while making sure I was there for every decision about the product’s performance, its security, and the other details that matter.

8 months taught me a lot about:

• Managing a product
• Making decisions
• Ignoring the details that don’t matter
• Guiding an agent to complete a task fully
• Letting my creative instinct guide my decisions
• Using my imagination and getting things done fast
• The more flexible, careful and constantly evolving you become, the more your productivity and satisfaction grow.

Unleash your imagination, and don’t refuse the change that will be forced on you, even if you fight it to your last breath.
