Here is the funny part: I sometimes write about AI, I keep up with almost all the updates from major players like OpenAI and Anthropic, yet yesterday I was complaining about a task that was routine and boring but required a meticulous approach.

Yesterday I remembered that I am surrounded by different models and decided to feed this task to GPT o4-mini-high (perfect for careful work and solid analysis). As a result, a task I would normally spend 1–2 days on was done in 10 minutes.

What I personally miss in current programming tools is this: not just systems that analyze your codebase and generate code, but full-fledged agents that are connected to your database, your message queue server, and, say, Stripe and other APIs I use in my projects. It feels like the arrival of such tools is not far off.
