> the common refrain is “think of yourself as a manager now”

One of the many reasons I'm determined to remain a luddite wrt AI. I hate the idea of being a manager and have refused promotions to avoid it in the past. I don't want to manage automatons any more than I want to manage people. I want to do stuff, not manage.

I find a lot of people are actually happy that they can offload mundane parts of job to automatons and to be really busy with the interesting parts.

It is not like you have to give them fun parts of the job.

While being a team lead for people I actually have to do the opposite. Get interesting parts to hand over to people to keep them happy and pick mundane not interesting boilerplate myself.

I keep hearing my this very much, so I have a question: what fun parts are there left for me?

It feels like this message of “offloading mundane tasks so you will have more time to do fun parts” is being pushed so hard, but in reality the opposite is happening. Fun parts are being offloaded while I’m left doing the soul sucking and mundane parts

I need a bash script for example. I don’t like dealing with bash or debugging scripts written by others.

I have that part covered by AI so I can get multiple servers up and running and then eventually fix some config or networking here and there which I like.

Instead of bashing my head against the wall.

		Different strokes I guess. I love using bash.
