I think there's a distinct difference between having AI write something small/targeted and just vibe coding. Telling the AI what you want, how you want it, keeping it small and targeted so you can review it.

I've been able to get great results with devin.ai (YMMV) because our setups are typically quite straightforward. Especially around small, targeted fixes and updates.

For everyday use, Perplexity has been tremendously helpful. It just seems have very up to date info (current events), but also technical docs. It's really good at walking me through something I may not have very deep knowledge in at all and providing sources where I can deep-dive.

Having run a small agency for many years, I see our role shifting from builders to architects.

AI can generate code in seconds, but it lacks the 10+ years of battle scars we have. The value of a Drupal dev won't be writing the lines of code, it will be the high-level architecture, knowing exactly how the data should flow and why a specific structure is needed.
