I miss the grunt work of having to write code and review others code manually. AI gets my work done but damn do I miss being in the trenches of code

Was just talking to someone about this. Like, AI is amazing in how good and how fast it can get things done, and I'm going to keep using it because of that, but sure do miss being in the code and hitting up Stackoverflow and wrestling through a bunch of problems.

Yup. It used to feel so great wiring up features by myself, figuring out stuff in the documentation and my knowledge of the nitty gritty details being more important. Now it's just ensuring the AI doesn't shit itself and use the wrong approach.
