    I prefer ticket/issue grunts because bot coworkers is ambiguous and may lead mgmt to consider replacing with AI, which from my experience just means more pressure and work for you.

    AI seems like more throughput and efficiency from the outside but from my experience usually means less throughout quality work and less intelligent decisions.

    Sounds like you're living the true dev lead dream! Where can I apply for a job where 25% of my time is spent doing something meaningful

    Your humorous workload breakdown highlights the challenges of balancing tasks as a dev lead. Streamlining processes could help reclaim meaningful time. Full cycle software development like those offered by Digiteum https://digiteum.com/greentech-soft... can address bottlenecks with efficient tech solutions, including SaaS optimization and automation to reduce manual tasks like time tracking or package management.
