I think this problem existed before AI. At least in my current job, there is constant, unrelenting demand for fast results. “Multi-day deep thinking” sounds like an outrageous luxury, at least in my current job.

Which is a reason for software becoming worse across the board. Just look at Windows. The "go go go" culture is ruinous to products.
Even 30 years ago when I started in the industry, most jobs required very little deep thinking. All of mine has been done on personal projects. Thats just the reality of the typical software engineering job.
this is why productivity is a word that should really just be reserved for work contexts, and personal time is better used for feeding "The Thinker"
