Could you please stop posting dismissive, curmudgeonly comments? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

This is extremely dismissive. Claude Code helps me make a majority of changes to our codebase now, particularly small ones, and is an insane efficiency boost. You may not have the same experience for one reason or another, but plenty of devs do, so "nothing happened" is absolutely wrong.

2024 was a lot of talk, a lot of "AI could hypothetically do this and that". 2025 was the year where it genuinely started to enter people's workflows. Not everything we've been told would happen has happened (I still make my own presentations and write my own emails) but coding agents certainly have!

I’m not sure how to tell you how obvious it is you haven’t actually used these tools.

This comment is legitimately hilarious to me. I thought it was satire at first. The list of what has happened in this field in the last twelve months is staggering to me, while you write it off as essentially nothing.

Different strokes, but I’m getting so much more done and mostly enjoying it. Can’t wait to see what 2026 holds!
