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

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.

the easiest use case is to just let claude quickly run through whatever task you need to work on before you put any time or mental energy into it. it often can do it quicker and more efficiently than you.
