For me i feel like most of my time is spent inventing bespoke solutions in existing infra. Less about algorithms and more about making it work in an existing complex code base, which option will have the most negative impact, best impact, performant, etc.

A lot of tradeoffs to evaluate and it can be tiring onboarding people, let alone onboarding an AI.

Maybe it would massively improve my job if the AI could just grab the whole codebase, but we're not there yet. Too many LOC, too much legal BS, etc.
