It really does feel like I've gone from being 1 senior engineer to a team that has a 0.8 Sr. Eng, 5 Jrs. and one dude that spends all his time on digging through poorly documented open source projects and documenting them for the team.
Sure I can't spend quite as much time working on hard problems as I used to, but no one knows that I haven't talked to a PM in months, no one knows I haven't written a commit summary in months, it's just been my AI doppelgangers. Compared to myself a year ago I think I now PERSONALLY write 150% more HARD code than I did before. So maybe, my first statement about being 0.8 is false.
I think of it like electric bikes, there seems to be indication that people with electric assist bikes actually burn more calories/spend more time/go farther on an electric bike than those who have manual bikes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22141....
I don't know what you're posting, but if it's anything like what I see being done by GitHub copilot, your commit messages are junk. They're equivalent to this and you're wasting everyone's time:
// Sets the value
const value = "red"this is a strawmans argument... of whatever your are arguing
