For me, I still enjoy getting my hands dirty. Let me share a story:
Last week vnlib got a big feature update. A single feature (zstd response compression) and it wasn't really my hand that wrote the code that added the feature. The feature was a single C file. The next almost 2 weeks were just review, bug fixing, and build script refactoring, docs, etc. I realized the fun part was writing that feature, like 300 lines of code, could have been done in a day instead of 10 seconds, and it wouldn't have slowed anything else down. While it's helping me though the other processes _a lot_. I let it do the easy part, the fun part, and it can't help me do the hard boring part of software. I believe this is a fact as it exists now and I think many people are coping.
Still super useful and a productivity boost, but lets be real with whats sustainable.
