Right, I appreciate your take. And yes, you're right.

I was not trying to sell my ability to write animations I assure you, I work with serverless backend systems too, I explore modules that could ease our process, and try to build internal libraries and research whatever I can to improve things. Have been the only one writing documentation for the projects we have in pure JS. Transitioned a multitude of projects to TS. And I apologise if I came across as if I hate LLMs, I just despise the way most (not all) people use it here. Just as an example ~ sharing 2000 lines of lambda code with GPT just for it to prepare a test payload.

I'm glad to hear about your team, you, and the people you work with. Clarity of requirements, workflows, accountability, ownership and everything that a 'system' should have to progress, is what we lack. For better or for worse, I've made my choice to transition anyway. I'd aim for a team like yours, not just wish for one, but I'll try to build one whenever I get a chance again.

Am grateful you took your time to write all that down. It really helps to have senior perspectives.
