Basically this. My last several tickets were HITL coding with AI for several hours and then waiting 1-2 days while the code worked its way through PR and CI/CD process.

Coding speed was never really a bottleneck anywhere I have worked - it’s all the processes around it that take the most time and AI doesn’t help that much there.

True story; I wanted to make a tiny update to our CI / CD to upload copies of some artifacts to S3. It took 1min for the LLM to remind me of the correct syntax in aws cli to do the upload and the syntax to plug it into our GitHub Actions. It then took me the next 3 hours to figure out which IAMs needed to be updated in order to allow the upload before it was revealed that Actually uploading to the S3 requires the company IT to adjust bucket policies and this requires filing a ticket with IT and waiting 1-5 business days for a response then potentially having a call with them to discuss the change and justify why we need it. So now it's four days later and I still can't push to S3.

AI reduced this from a 5-day process to a 4.9-day process
