I spend more time gathering context than completing coding tasks

I've been an engineer for almost 9 years, and I know from experience how much coding has changed over the years. Right now Im working in a big blockchain company and honestly I feel pretty exhausted. BUT NOT FROM THE TASKS I EXECUTE. I think with AI now, my work is more like being a human API. Lol. I got to slack, emails, JIRA and zoom calls to interact with people and gather all the context needed in order to make sure that when I will use AI the results will be relevant and accurate. And I feel that this is actually draining me. And i realized that this because every time we open PRs and it is about time to review things, CIs are freaking failing everywhere and then I have to go back and forth with people on slack to get the missing context. And all that even if we have already done scoping, architectural decisions. I feel we rush so much to deliver things fast, due to the AI-speed pressure, that is causing all this. I actually found many articles online talking about this. Anthropic also did their own index for checking if the fatigue is real from AI usage. I linked a medium article that resonated with me on the topic. Are you also facing this issue at your job? If so, how are you dealing with this, apart from taking more walks at the park lol. submitted by /u/LeopardAfter493 [link] [留言]
