I already need AI just to figure out what I'm spending on AI. 
Brutal learning curve for dev work when you're really pushing the envelope. Standard biz analysis stuff is easy. If you have a lot of dev experience, you'll quickly start seeing the limitations of Claude et. al. after wandering just a few feet outside the Disneyland castle walls. I'll typically get 1 -2 days of brilliance and ridiculous productivity leverage followed by several hours of unhelpful stupidity. Most of the hard work is learning how to reduce the second part and recover quickly from meltdowns.
Example: A couple of days ago, we installed a new testing framework, migrated existing tests and specced out dramatically greater test coverage for the entire code base in something like fifteen minutes. That's insane. Then I spent the next 2 - 3 hours getting it to agree to query tables in a database again.
Claude has a strong tendency to go rabbit holing whenever it's lost, but definitely lies far less than ChattyG.
