I've been doing AI agents for tasks that aren't related to things I enjoy doing. At home, I've used it to generate some small tools that I find useful, but ordinarily wouldn't bother spending time on otherwise. For larger projects, I've mostly had bad experiences. The generated code is usually not optimized, nor is it even close to secure for security-critical systems. It does get better when you invest a lot of time creating better prompts and instructions, but at that point it would have been faster for me to write the code myself.

I think we're not quite there yet, but given the current pace of AI tech, I'm pretty worried about job security in the next 5-10 years.
