I’ve worked at a government agency for about four years. I started as a frontend developer, but now I handle frontend, mobile, and backend development for an ERP system used by around 1,000 employees. The hardest part is dealing with changing business rules. We have no business analyst or tester, so I have to take on several roles. Before using AI, I planned my work and wrote code by hand. The pace was slower, but I still had energy after work. Now I finish tasks faster, but I feel exhausted. I drink twice as much coffee, and my skin has gotten worse. My current workflow is to ask AI for a plan, quickly review it, generate code, test manually, and then ask it to write automated tests. While it’s generating, I switch tabs to check another task and keep prompting. I rarely review the code carefully. I meet deadlines, but the results feel average, and I’m less confident in my work. I feel like I’m losing control of my own code. How do you use the time while AI is generating? Does anyone else feel this way? submitted by /u/GoodThingTakeTime
