These are exactly the kind of tasks that I ask an AI tool to perform.

Claude, Codex, et al are terrible at innovation. What they are good at is regurgitating patterns they've seen before, which often mean refactoring something into a more stable/common format. You can paste compiler warnings and errors into an agentic tool's input box and have it fix them for you, with a good chance for success.

I feel for your position within your org, but these tools are definitely shaking things up. Some tasks will be given over entirely to agentic tools.
