Tab Completion is Dead. Here’s What Replaced It.

A developer shares how their coding workflow has fundamentally shifted over the past few months away from traditional editors, tab completion, and manual terminal commands toward fully agent-driven development. Key changes include using Cursor's agent mode instead of the editor UI, delegating commits and terminal commands to AI, using AI code review tools like CodeRabbit and Claude Code for PR reviews, and building 'skills' (reusable prompt rules) to enforce code quality standards automatically. The author also discusses the importance of still reviewing AI-generated code, switching between models for different tasks, and leveraging async cloud agents to fix failing tests. The overall message is to identify tedious manual tasks and offload them to agents as they become faster and more capable.
