Ah, well... I can't say that there's any real hope.

I dove in in ~2023, and I'm about as deep in it as one can be. The better I get at it, and the better the agents get, the less time I spend even doing what I do - one prompt will often take 3+ hours. I often keep 8+ agents churning for the whole workday (and leave them running when I leave, too, and it's very often that they'll work from 4pm to midnight or later). I was responsible for 499 commits last week (very little new functionality, though), and I felt pretty useless at the end of it. I keep thinking I should code something, because coding feels productive in comparison, but going by results, it's pretty far from economical to write code by hand, and quickly approaching as bad as shipping goods by foot.

May I ask what you end-up doing for the rest of the day?

Depends on the day. Mostly playing with the applications I'm developing to try and find gaps or rough edges, or reading over code and developing further AI tooling when I find disgusting code (to try to detect/fix/prevent disgusting code of that nature). Also, talking to coworkers to learn about the products we build and the business we're in.
