I believe for simple, common tasks and small projects, it's at least manageable. Even good, if you are not forced to use AI and can simply choose to what extent you use the tools and its results.
But with enterprise-level coding agents that are supposed to handle issues in long-term projects, the work is shifted to every other phase really, before and after the coding. Initially I thought that proper documentation at least benefits everybody, but prompts and instructions optimized for AI are not necessarily good documentation for humans to read.
