In my minimal experience coding with #AI, it is clear to me that #botsitting work is really draining. There are so many other boring things I'd rather be doing, and they don't take much of my energy. So there does seem to be some small #productivity gains from using AI, it would end up making my quality of life worse. So I'll happily stick to getting in the zone, and just rolling with the boilerplate, refactoring chores, etc. until I see these tools make me happier

This reminds of me a bit about how email changed the work place. Yeah, I'm old, I worked in offices before we had email there. At first, email was a great improvement, but then came the tsunami of emails. It was so easy to send, people started sending far too many. Then everyone is drowning in it, wiping away most of the productivity gains.

@eighthave The draining part isn't the work, it's the watching — coding by hand tires your hands, but botsitting tires the part that's not allowed to look away, and that part runs on a fuel a coffee break can't refill
