alt Hacker Newsso, why is google paying you an absurd comp still. what exactly do you bring to the table that your pm can't order argon to do?
i'm actually curious on what your view is despite the snarky tone.

ability to find workarounds around other disfunctional people with absurd comp to unblock progress.
I am basically a tech lead to the AI's junior dev swarm. It can do a lot of things, but still needs signoff and occasional hand holding.
If you looked at that arrangement and said "we don't need tech leads, we just need nontechnical managers and junior devs" you'd be sorely mistaken.
I do anticipate a future where it will be better than me at applying taste, knowing best practices, and having domain familiarity.
