Argues that AI augments rather than replaces developers and cites an MIT survey claiming 26% productivity increase and adoption in 92% of Fortune 500; shows concrete tools and workflows: using ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude for prompt-driven generation, GitHub Copilot and JetBrains Juny as inline agents, running local models with Ollama or Docker Model Runner for privacy, and building working utilities like a Raycast Spring Initializer extension plus CLI generators and a GitHub README project; notes developers spend 10x more time reading code and demonstrates converting JSON to Java records and iteratively fixing agent output.
