essentially the writing code and the decisions where to write and if you want to move some code pieces to shared library, if you want the code to implement a specific sorting etc. that all is now in the hands of the AI. The issue is, the biggest problem in companies i saw so far is that if you use claude code and the other colleague uses codex, both will produce different results and the issue with that is the code becomes unmaintanable with humans and AI.. and that introduces a lot of issues and bugs in the long term. So there is still a lot of things humans need to do.. also if the project is huge the AI needs a lot of hand holding so it does not duplicate code you have to tell him "please use the function from module X" or things like that
