I find that there are domains where LLMs are much faster and more skilled than I am, particularly in extremely well-documented but technical and complicated, but a lot of domains where they cannot do anything at all (mostly novel issues, weird architecture issue resolution, etc.).

Building a basic X11 window manager is almost a one shot prompt.

Modifying a UI toolkit to make it work with MSAA/IA2 is simply not possible.

There's a lot of room for deep work left... for now.

When you say this is simply not possible you sparked my interest. I would be curious to chat about your approach?

If I were trying to accomplish this particular goal I would first consider what the agent could see. In particular does it have an accessibility inspector of some kind? or even NVDA hooked up with NVDA Remote so that it can actually see the implicit a11y tree for the toolkit it is working on? My email is in my profile and I would love to chat about this.
