This aligns with an article I titled "AI can only solve boring problems"[0]

Despite the title I'm a little more optimistic about agentic coding overall (but only a little).

All projects require some combination of "big thinking" and tedious busywork. Too much busywork is bad, but reducing it to 0 doesn't necessarily help. I think AI can often reduce the tedious busywork part, but that's only net positive if there was an excess of it to begin with - so its value depends on the project / problem domain / etc.
