> while taking the joyful bits of software development away from you

Quick question: by "joyful bits of software development," do you mean the bit where you design robust architectures, services, and their communication/data concepts to solve specific problems, or the part where you have to assault a keyboard for extended periods of time _after_ all that interesting work so that it all actually does anything?

Because I sure know which of these has been "taken from me," and it's certainly not the joyful one.

I guess I enjoy solving problems, and recognize that the devil is always in the details, so I don't get much satisfaction until I see the whole stack working in concert. I never had much esteem for "architects" who sketch some blobs on the whiteboard and then disappear. I certainly wouldn't want to be "that guy" for anyone else, and I'm not even sure I could do it to an LLM.
