Yeah its hard to deny just the raw throughput from the AI. Like it really is doing work in hours that would take me days.

But those times when I had to drop down into a repl and play around with the output of a method. Or try different ways of doing what anyone else would think is boring, like array manipulation - that's a lot of what I actually LIKE to do.

A big part of me just hopes I can hang in there for another... decade, or two. Then I can retire! Maybe.
