      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

      If not, then consider it a belated or pre-emptive well wishing for whenever it may be

      I believe in many cases people think the AI is giving them *back* their agency. That it allows them to start taking control of their own destiny again. We have to help people understand how believing everything that comes out of the robot undermines that goal.
