  • My job is 75% maintenance and 25% developing new app features. That 25% is really interesting and is what drew me to my current company, but maintenance is what management cares about most and what our customer service team is constantly pushing us to do.

    The problem is that it’s boring and repetitive work. Ever since the company started promoting the use of AI, I’ve been delegating these tedious tasks to agents who work on separate Git worktrees, while I focus on learning new things and implementing them alongside new features that we previously didn’t have the time or budget for. Management is satisfied, and I’m learning a lot thanks to the time I’ve saved. Most importantly, I’m still writing code myself, code that I actually enjoy writing.



  • I’m not sure why you’re being so hostile, but you’re fundamentally confusing a codebase’s hand-written LoC with Git commit additions.

    Nobody is saying someone authored 11M lines. Commit fa3e8525 was a workspace reconciliation - importing external repository code, dependencies, and assets into the public repo for the first time, so exactly the type of thing I was talking about. Git counts all imported lines as additions.

    Before asking others to “stay in their lane”, maybe make sure you understand how Git history handles repository imports and dependency tracking. Have a good day.
