I, too, watched The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The problem is that I, too, shipped a fuckton of working, reviewed, reworked, tests-and-lint-passing, properly-typed code implementing brand new features from scratch in the last 48 hours, that would have taken me 48 days a year ago.
“thinking” means a lot of different things, and you can indeed outsource a lot of it to other things that can think at different levels of ability than you. This is effectively what an engineering organization does.
Perhaps I haven’t fully offshored my thinking in the sense you mean in that I review all the code and give feedback on the PRs—I still steer. But I think the SOTA will continue to improve until we can indeed oneshot larger and larger tasks.
