Have never worked in my life like last year, and there's no signs of slowing down.

At least I don't have to review PRs, we have built a team around the concept of trust and not needing to check each other's work.

There's simply too much work to start nit picking in PRs, everybody's very talented and a good engineer you can trust. They ask for feedback when they want it.

And no, we're not producing slop, if anything AI has helped improve the codebase a lot and the harnessing has definitely raised the bar at all levels.

But sure as hell, the job sucks now, and I hate it. And it's not just due to the amount of work.

75% of the value on PR review is team visibility
We have built our team around not needing team visibility. We're 5 developers working on 7 products used by 5 different companies.

I *don't* want to have to know what others are doing nor how. This may work on teams that work on a narrower scope and lower rhythms, cannot work for us.
