Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.
It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.
The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier.
I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents.
My company's IT and/or InfoSec teams have strict rules that do not allow me to use AI agent tools or platforms

Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming
Yes, vibe coding is increasingly part of my professional development work. I use large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to generate code snippets, debug issues, or rapidly prototype features. While I still apply traditional coding practices, leveraging LLMs has become a valuable tool in speeding up development, brainstorming approaches, and reducing repetitive tasks.
Yes, I use AI agents at work daily
Yes, to a great extent

AI agents have improved the quality of my code.;AI agents have helped me solve complex problems more effectively.

AI agents have increased my productivity.;AI agents have helped me automate repetitive tasks.;AI agents have accelerated my learning about new technologies or codebases.;AI agents have reduced the time spent on specific development tasks.;AI agents have improved collaboration within my team.

I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.;The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents.;My company's IT and/or InfoSec teams have strict rules that do not allow me to use AI agent tools or platforms
It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.;Write in the most significant challenge if not listed above:

When I want to learn best practices;When I’m stuck and can’t explain the problem;When I need help fixing complex or unfamiliar code
Even with AI generating code, developers will need to understand what to build and why. Designing systems, breaking down complex problems, and architecting scalable, maintainable solutions are human-led tasks that AI supports but doesn't replace.
