I don't enjoy writing authN code, or frontend code, or all the myriad bits of glue converting between one thing and another.

Now, I'm master of about a thousand lines of pricing code plus documentation and research which actually matters. The AI can handle the rest as a very skilled junior with a TBI.

You absolutely are a proctor, or senior manager. The AI is the smartest most well read junior you will ever meet, but don't go out of its happy path.

As you go out of the commonly read happy path for CRUD apps, you'll have to get more and more involved. I wouldn't write a new kernel design with AI right now, I might write a Linux kernel driver with it though.
