Nowadays, I feel like I am mostly just planing out projects in detail with custom prompts, custom MCP servers and just let it do it's work before the code review.
How are you using these tools and how did it change your life/workflows?
As much as I like it, I feel less excited about programming new things.
also, last week i had to sit through 8 hours code auditing of 2 parsers... i mean. 2 parsers that should of taken like 20 minutes to review... it was a complete and utter shitshow. functionally worked, for that one test-case -_-. the 2 parsers had a nice 'framework' around it or whatever. a webserver to run them, because why not make a webserver if you can... -_- and each parser as a module in the framework, but they both were architected differently :S and had special handling in the framework for each as a result.. rather than cleaning up the interface for the module -_-.
clearly just LLM trying to do the 1000 monkeys approach to a passed test... i swear i might have been quicker just to re-write the entire thing, but u know, wanted to see if it was even possible to decypher the mess it produced. well, it was. and now i want to live in a hole in the ground somewhere away from civilization.
Just a day ago, it wrote a ZeroTier userspace network backend for the QEMU/KVM virtualisation platform, which allows to use ZeroTier networks as virtual ethernet devices with proper L2 (e.g. internet wide switch) with VMs - no matter if it is Win95, Linux, QNX, ..
For hobby projects: All-in with extensive use of Google Jules to create/improve my stuff!

I probably need to dive into using MCP servers and such.
