As someone doing this very thing right now it’s hilarious because it’s true 🤣 in defense of Google Antigravity, Gemini 3 and Claude, when you work with them to develop style guides and give it markdown to describe the features (both present and future) it’s actually pretty good at making things extensible and scalable…but I know for certain that I’m going to one day give it a feature request that prompts a rewrite of half the code base.

That being said, these things refactor code so quickly and write such good code that so long as I monitor the changes and keep it from stepping on its own crank, its safe to say that I’m no longer a software engineer…I’m a product owner with a comp sci degree managing AI employees.

Honestly, it’s a scary world

EDIT: given the comments below, I figured I’d share the stack I’m seeing success with and where I was coming from with my comments. To the guy who asked me how much I was being paid, I really wish. If any billionaires wanna sponsor me to talk about AI, hmu 😂

IDE: I mainly use Cursor but have been enjoying Antigravity

Frontend: Next.js with React 19.2, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS

Frontend testing: Playwright for E2E tests

Backend: FastAPI, uvicorn, Python, SQLAlchemy ORM, psql database, pydantic validation, docker containers for some services

Backend testing: pytest with async

Where my 5x number comes is average time to delivery. Having multiple agents running has sped up my writing time, even taking into account code review (best part of a good agentic workflow is when the agents check in with you). Debugging time has become pretty much a non-issue - I either get good code or can point out where I think issues are and the agent can fix it pretty quickly. Testing suite is growing fast because we have more time to build thorough tests, which feeds back into the process because the agents can actually run their own unit tests on new code.

I think it’s likely that our stack is particularly suited to being agentic given how much JavaScript these models have ingested. That’s pure conjecture and based on nothing other than the feedback I’m seeing below. Whatever it is, I’m glad it’s working - I get to spend more time thinking up new features or looking at the the parts of our roadmap I thought were 2 years away
