Over the past year, AI has become a regular part of my workflow as an Android and iOS developer.
Like many engineers, I've started using AI tools to help with things like:
• Generating boilerplate code
• Explaining unfamiliar APIs
• Creating test cases
• Reviewing implementation ideas
• Speeding up research and debugging
What I've found interesting is that AI hasn't really reduced the need for engineering decisions—it has simply changed where I spend my time.
Instead of spending hours writing repetitive code, I can focus more on:
• Architecture and scalability
• User experience considerations
• Performance optimization
• Code quality and maintainability
• Collaborating with product and design teams
For mobile development especially, there are still many decisions that depend on context, business requirements, and user needs. Those are often the areas where experience makes the biggest difference.
For me, AI feels less like a replacement for development work and more like a productivity tool that helps me move faster and focus on higher-impact problems.
I'm curious how other mobile developers are using AI in their day-to-day work.
Has it changed your workflow? If so, what's been the biggest improvement for you?

The fix for an agent that keeps getting your design system wrong isn't a better prompt.
It's putting the rules where the agent reads them.
In the repo. In skills. In checks it can run itself.
Writing a course about exactly this.
What sells it for me is the refusal telling the agent exactly where the token should go. A bare "no hex" error usually just sends it looping. Does guard.mjs run only as an agent hook, or in pre-commit too so it catches humans as well?
Amazing design!
Really liked how these designs turned out!
Explored a concept for AI SaaS product, focusing on a clean interface and a simple, intuitive chat experience.
Tried two different layout variation for the hero section.
Which would you like?

Really clean concept! 👏
I like the second layout more — the headline "Your ideas deserve an intelligent partner" + the chat preview below makes the AI feel real and easy to use immediately. The first one is also clean, but this one sells the product faster.
I also design SaaS...
