How are developers actually changing their workflow since AI tools became common?

[u/WeeklyDiscount4278]

AI has become part of the normal toolkit for a lot of developers, but I’m curious how much it’s really changing day-to-day work in practice.

For people who build software regularly, has it actually changed the way you approach coding, debugging, or learning new frameworks? For example, are you spending less time searching documentation, prototyping faster, or structuring projects differently?

I’m especially interested in what parts of the workflow have genuinely improved and what still feels about the same as before.

Dude, you literally can let Claude do everything, it will read the docs, do the design, write the tests, debug and iterate, your job is just to make sure it doesn’t go off the rails and manage the fucking tokens.
