Tired.
Mostly of having to try and explain to people why having an AI reduce software development workload by 30-50% doesn't reduce headcount or time taken similarly.
Turns out, lots of time is still sunk in talking about the features with PM's, stakeholders, customers etc.
Reducing the amount of time a dev NEEDS to spend doing boilerplate means they have more time to do the things that previously got ignored in a time poor state, like cleaning up tech debt or security checks or accessibility etc etc

I'm tired of having to try and explain that AI isn't remotely reducing my workload by 30-50%, and in fact it often probably slows me down because the stupid AI autocomplete gets in the way with incorrect suggestions and prevents me from getting into any kind of flow
