damned if AI didn't take a well scoped ticket and just did it before I even finished reading that very tightly scoped ticket

Helped: Well-scoped tickets and using MCPs to feed context to the AI.

Got in the way: AI generated a mess requiring manual cleanup and yelling via transcription.

… then you go literally yell at your computer using Wispr Flow or some other transcription software to tell Claude how to fix the mess it made, and then you after you've cleaned it up, you submit the PR. When ChatGPT first came out three years ago, we joked about Devin and having an AI coworker, but I was just given 5 tickets to work on before break, and damned if AI didn't take a well scoped ticket and just did it before I even finished reading that very tightly scoped ticket.
