What’s annoying is that it doesn’t matter if the task is complex or super simple—even for a minor bug fix or a basic script, the waiting time remains a solid half-hour.</p> <p>What I’m experiencing:<br> Consistent Delays: Every request feels like it's stuck in a massive queue.</p> <p>Size Doesn't Matter: Small, quick tasks are taking just as long as massive code generations.</p> <p>Productivity Hit: It's genuinely disrupting the development workflow when you have to wait this long for a quick output.</p> <p>Is there a massive server overload going on, or have they rolled out some backend updates that are causing this lag?</p> <p>Drop a comment below if you are facing this too, or if you managed to find a workaround (like switching regions or changing specific settings). Would love to know if this is a widespread issue!</p> ai productivity vscode codex karan Wed, 13 May 2026 06:36:38 +0000 https://dev.to/karan_kundal_/beyond-syntax-what-are-agentic-code-runners-actually-replacing-in-2026-16f8 https://dev.to/karan_kundal_/beyond-syntax-what-are-agentic-code-runners-actually-replacing-in-2026-16f8 <p>We all know AI can write a React component or a Python script now—that's old news. But with the rise of Agentic AI (tools that can actually execute, debug, and iterate in a terminal), the goalposts have shifted.</p> <p>I’m curious to hear from senior devs and AI engineers: What "non-coding" parts of our job are going to disappear next?</p> <p>Is it:</p> <p>Infrastructure as Code? (Will we ever write another Terraform file?)</p> <p>The QA Role? (Are manual E2E tests officially dead?)</p> <p>System Design? (Can agents now optimize architecture better than a human with a whiteboard?)</p> <p>What’s the one thing you did 2 years ago that an Agentic runner has completely taken off your plate today?</p> ai webdev productivity career
