> AI allows you to spend nearly all of your time there if you wish, from concept through troubleshooting

It does not! If you're using interactive IDE AI, you spend your time keeping the AI on the rails, and reminding it what the original task is. If you're using agents, then you're delegating all the the mid-level/tactical thinking, and perhaps even the planning, and you're left with the task of writing requirements granular enough for an intern to tackle, but this hews closer to "Business Analyst" than "Software Engineer"

From my experience, current AI models stay on the rails pretty well. I don't need to remind them of the task at hand.

Can you show anything you have built?

Using an agentic workflow does not require you to delegate tge thinking. Agents are great at taking exactly what you want to do and executing. So spend an extra few minutes and lay out the architecture YOU want then let the ai do the work.
