Everyone talks about productivity as if that is the only metric that matters in the business.

The MCP has now automated away all of the drudgery of programming, from summarizing emails, to generating confluence documentation, to generating slide decks.

I wonder about the hallucination. Reading someone's writing doesn't take all that long.

> the drudgery of programming

Is programming supposed to suck all the time? Am I doing it wrong? I mean yeah, sure, it sucks sometimes, but overcoming that "suck" is where I feel progress and growth. If we decide to optimise that away...What the fuck am I doing here? No offence to managers, but if everybody is a manager, is anybody?
