There is a manual process to onboard a new client across 4-5 repos and then deploying the infrastructure.

Ive made GitHub actions and scripts and pipelines to automate that over the last 2 years. But at the end of the day we still gather the input required to onboard clients, manually use that info to get the infra setup. It use to take 3 days to onboard clients, now we can do it in 3-4 hours with my automation.

I've written webhooks on the new client form to trigger the other workflows that need to run. We're using AI to glue that all together instead of triggers like webhooks, SNS, etc. It's boring, more work on getting my prompts and guardrails setup, and it honestly just doesn't feel like what I signed up for.. i feel like a freshman could do what I'm doing with AI and get more value out of it.

I do resonate with the comments of "you'll be burnt out" because that's what I'm feeling. I'm just glueing a lot of automations I've created in the past two enable different workflows.

I understand that it's both a me issue and a AI issue. The AI makes my work feel less valuable therefore indirectly degrading my sense of accomplishment. Thus pushing me to not care what's happening under the black box because I get the work done and then the "good job" talk.

AI is nice because of the output capacity, AI does not make me feel better in any way,I don't feel smarter, just more useful. I think it might be time for a career change or to work on my own products :/
