The Experiment Nobody Asked Me To Do Two months ago, I decided to let AI agents handle my entire development workflow — from writing code to deploying to production. The results were… surprising. Not because everything went perfectly (it didn't). But because the failures taught me more about software engineering than the successes. Here's the full breakdown. What I Automated (And How) I split my workflow into 5 stages and assigned an AI agent to each: 1. Planning Agent — From Idea to Spec I feed it a rough idea like "build a URL shortener."
