I feel the same way often but I find it to be very similar to coding. Whether coding or prompting when I’m doing rote, boring work I find it tedious. When I am solving a hard problem or designing something interesting I am engaged.

My app is fairly mature with well established patterns, etc. When I’m adding “just CRUD” as part of a feature it’s very tedious to prompt agents, reviewing code, rinse & repeat. Were I actually writing the code by hand I would probably be less productive and just as bored/unsatisfied.

I spent a decent amount of time today designing a very robust bulk upload API (compliance fintech, lots of considerations to be had) for customers who can’t do a batch job. When it was finished I was very pleased with the result and had performance tests and everything.
