> The uncomfortable part: if your value was being the person who could grind through tedious work, that's no longer a moat. Orchestration and judgment are what's left.

What kind of work do you think people who deal with LLMs everyday are doing? LLMs could maybe take something 60% of the way there. The remaining 40% is horrible tedious work that someone needs to grind through.

Automating part of the grind means that the remaining grind is more fun. You get more payoffs for less work.

  • Removing all of the fun bits (here is an IDE, let's make something) and some of the grind- but leaving only grind behind- is a worse QoL, at least for me.
