Everyone talks about productivity as if that is the only metric that matters in the business.

The MCP has now automated away all of the drudgery of programming, from summarizing emails, to generating confluence documentation, to generating slide decks.

I wonder about the hallucination. Reading someone's writing doesn't take all that long.

> the drudgery of programming

Is programming supposed to suck all the time? Am I doing it wrong? I mean yeah, sure, it sucks sometimes, but overcoming that "suck" is where I feel progress and growth. If we decide to optimise that away...What the fuck am I doing here? No offence to managers, but if everybody is a manager, is anybody?

		Feels kind of like the problem of everybody wanting to be an entrepreneur in the 2010s. Just led to people basically trying to get paid to be middleman companies skimming from others that don’t really need them, or worse, selling supplements and life coaching or whatever on social media and other grifts.
