My AI-Assisted Development Workflow in 2026
How I actually use coding agents day to day—where they shine, where they waste your time, and how to stay in control.
Coding agents went from novelty to core tooling fast, but using them well is a skill. I share the workflow that has stuck: tight feedback loops, treating the agent like a fast junior who needs clear specs, writing tests first so the agent has a target, and keeping a human in the loop for architecture. I cover the failure modes too—confidently wrong refactors, context rot on large codebases, and the temptation to accept code you don't understand. The goal isn't to write less code; it's to spend your attention where it matters.
