    As programmer. It’s helping my productivity. And look I am SDET in theory I will be the first to go, and I tried to make an agent doing most of my job, but it always things to correct.

    But programming requires a lot of boilerplate code, using an agent to make boilerplate files so I can correct and adjust is speeding up a lot what I do.

    I don’t think I can replaced so far, but my team is not looking to expand the team right now because we are doing more work.

      Same here. I love it when Windsurf corrects nested syntax that’s always a pain, or when I need it to refactor six similar functions into one, or write trivial tests and basic regex. It’s so incredibly handy when it works right.

      Sadly other times it cheats and does the lazy thing. Like when I ask it to write me an object, but chooses to derive it from the one I’m trying to rework. That’s when I ask it to move and I do it myself.
