Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?

Comment sections on AI threads tend to split into "we're all cooked" and "AI is useless." I'd like to cut through the noise and learn what's actually working and what isn't, from concrete experience. If you've recently used AI tools for professional coding work, tell us about it. What tools did you use? What worked well and why? What challenges did you hit, and how (if at all) did you solve them? Please share enough context (stack, project type, team size, experience level) for others to learn from your experience. The goal is to build a grounded picture of where AI-assisted development actually stands in March 2026, without the hot air.
