      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      Gah I love how life with a smol human means taking time for the mundane. Like how the thunderstorms were a source of entertainment throughout the day to the point that we turned off all the lights and watched the lightning. 
      
      Can't remember the last time I did that. 
      
      Grounds me in lovely ways.
