Tracing a strange bug. Arguing with your own product idea. Making a tiny thing work, after it really, really didn’t.
AI can finish the task. But sometimes, you miss being the person who figured it out.
Run a small system. Follow its dependencies. Change the architecture or the code, and see what happens to the work it does. Keep the parts that make you curious enough to try again.
You choose the thread.You choose when it’s enough.
