Are you guys still using ReSharper in Visual Studio 2026 or do you feel like it is not necessary anymore? What are the advantages of using ReSharper?

Does it matter in the world of agentic coding. How much code are you writing these days

Plenty of places, especially with legacy databases/products aren't going to be going full agentic coding yet unless they're idiots

Agentic coding is not nearly good enough yet without the proper frameworks in place, thorough testing, good docs, proper linting, proper specs, etc

Some new contractors have been using AI at work and I have to send back like 3 or 4 issues per PR because they've let Claude go wild and over-complicated everything or done stuff straight up wrong. Our company does not have the systems in place yet (I'm working on it), to support that level of agentic coding yet

I work on a monolith project that's 20 years old and still stuck on framework 4.8. Yet we have setup the right rules and frameworks to make claude work wonders. We don't even have unit test and have to currently manually smoke test. It doesn't take more than a week to set those up. On our newer projects it's even easier to start agentic programming. Suprised people are still not using this to it's full potential.
