> Reviewing AI output all day without the dopamine of creation is not a sustainable job description.

I agree that reducing engineers’ careers to code review will lead to burnout (amongst other problems).

But I think the reason we’re headed in this direction is precisely because creating with AI /can/ deliver “the dopamine of creation”.

It doesn’t deliver that hit for everyone - but it does for the half of engineers who are more excited about building new things than the act of coding.

Teams build more and ship faster because it’s so much easier to do that with AI - and it’s fun - and that leads to increased review load.
