I don't follow.

In the same breath (same paragraph) you state two polar opposites about working with AI:

   - I am phenomenally productive
   - "as long as I occasionally have it stop" and "it tends to forget a lot of rules like DRY"

I don't see how you can claim to be "phenomenally productive" when working with a tool you have to babysit because it forgets your instructions the whole time.

If it was the "junior dev" you also mention, I suspect you would very quickly invite the "junior dev" to find a job elsewhere.
