At a fundamental level, we need to both evolve our understanding of what engineering work actually entails and rethink how we measure value. Developers could never consistently code for eight solid hours a day without getting exhausted: even if AI takes over code generation, the move to working on a handful of concurrent problems with AI and the necessary context that requires isn’t sustainable or conducive to good work. It’s not really about just writing code; frequent design and architecture work can lead to significant decision fatigue.
