Are AI coding agents making you faster or just busier?
by•
I use a coding agent (omp) for most of my coding now, and I ship more than I used to. What I can't tell is whether I'm getting more done or just starting more things. It's so easy to kick off a new feature that I end up with a lot of half-finished work. I'm prone to that anyway, since I procrastinate and drop things too easily, and the agent makes it cheaper to jump to the next idea. Has your output actually gone up, or do you just feel busier? How do you tell the difference?

Faster for me honestly, I just finished around 10 products. What keeps it from turning into a pile of half-done stuff is that I only build things I'll actually use myself. And I lean on E2E tests instead of trying to review every line.
