I guess I wasn’t very clear. At this point I haven’t found of level of abstraction where AI cannot be helpful. I have set it upon architecture problems but the main obstacle is the domain knowledge that it lacks. My company is working on uploading all of our internal specs as skills, but AI gets confused with poor English and outdated specs. Some groups have succeeded and the high level arch suggestions are being reviewed.

The challenge is guiding the model through decades of human slop: poorly written or missing specifications!

Ah, this sounds so unfun to me. As I thought, actual "thinking" is providing context due to bad, not self sufficient, documentation

I think I am just not result driven. I like to do stuff myself, not providing info to some super intelligence to do cognitive work

This role is also require way less qualifications and cognitive ability. You need local knowledge, not fundamental knowledge: why in this exact company things the way it is. Mostly not transferable

Yeah I’m a type-a. People talk about all their unfinished personal projects and I’m like “heh?” Why not finish?? I guess some of us can see things through and others just want to dabble. That’s fine. There’s only so much time we’re alive: don’t let other people tell you what should be fun!

One thing I can't understand: why work as SWE if you don't really care about technical side, but you care about product? Managering position is much more suitable

I also don't understand why care about result if you are working in a big company and you have fixed salary. Most of the time result isn't about better user experience, but about profits for shareholders. I guess all people are different
