I think you make a good point. There is an issue of people talking over each other. The reality is, we don't all do the same work. It's possible my job and someone else's involves having to deliver very different code where the challenges to it differ.

One person might feel like their job is just coding the same CRUD app over and over re-skinned. Where-as I feel my job is to simplify code by figuring out better structures and abstractions to model the problem domain which together solve systemic issues with the delivered system and enables more features to work together without issue and be added to the system, as well as making changes and new features/use-cases delivery faster.

The latter I find a creative exercise, the former I might get bored and wish AI could automate it away.

I think what it is you are tasked with doing exactly at your job will also mean that your use of agentic AI actually makes you more productive or not.
