Many developers are still treating AI like a toy.
Especially the ones still scoffing at the idea of vibe coding and LLMs in general.
They’ll let it spit out some boilerplate or demo code, then go back to slogging through the hard stuff by hand.
They're still stuck with the 2015 coding mindset.
Yet AI is already capable of shaving hours off the kinds of tasks that quietly eat your time every day.
The real edge comes when you stop thinking of it as a novelty and start using it as a persistent weapon in your workflow.
Developers who figure that out will move a lot faster than the rest.
These are 5 powerful ways to start using AI and coding agents to their maximum potential.
1. Write regex without the headaches
Regex is powerful but writing it by hand can be so painful. AI can:
Translate plain-English rules into a working regex.
Explain cryptic existing patterns.
Generate positive and negative test strings so you can double-check correctness.
Example prompt:
“Write a function in a new file with a regex that matches ISO-8601 timestamps ending in Z, show me 5 valid and 5 invalid examples.”
You can still verify the AI’s regex in a tool like regex101 to confirm it works across the engine you’re using.
2. Easily test APIs with curl and beyond
When you’re debugging APIs writing curl commands with the right flags can be tedious.
Even with Postman you still have to click here and there, entering the parameters, organizing and creating folders... (ugh)
But with coding agents you can:
Turn a plain description into a ready-to-run
curl.Translate
curlinto client code in Python, Node, Go, etc.Add flags for retries, headers, or timing diagnostics.
Example prompt:
“Give me a curl command to POST JSON to /users, set an Authorization header, and print both response headers and timing stats.”
From there, you can ask the AI to convert that curl into production-ready code.
3. Rapidly scaffold apps and webpages
Instead of Googling CLI flags or digging through docs you can let AI set up project starters for you:
Next.js with Tailwind and TypeScript.
Vite with React or Vue.
Pre-configured routes and components that compile on the first run.
Example prompt:
Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T
The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
