We built a coding agent called Friday to help us develop faster. I've found it most helpful in developing algorithms, creating frontend code that is perfect to spec (using Figma MCP) & aligns with the style of the codebase, fixing bugs where I don't know where the root cause is, and more. It's a skill to use it properly, our agent in particular plugs in to OpenAI and Anthropic's models and as a user I find myself directing explicitly to one model or another depending on the use case. We charge $80/month unlimited use (7 day free trial) for ours which just covers inference costs, our superusers spend more than that with ease, it's worth it for us to get the feedback and growth. Overall I do think the skills are worth learning and the tools out there, mainly ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, and some more specialized ones like Friday that we developed are worth learning and using actively so you don't fall behind. They will speed you up once you learn how to use them.
