What do you still do by hand, even though AI could probably do it?

by•

I let AI write most of my code now. It is faster than me and it does not get bored.

Three things I still do myself. I read the actual error message before I paste it anywhere. I decide what not to build, because AI will happily build anything you describe and never once ask whether it should exist. And I do the last pass before something ships, because on mobile you cannot quietly push a fix afterwards. None of that is because AI is bad at the work. It is about who is accountable when it turns out wrong.

Curious what is on your list. Is there something you have kept for yourself, or have you handed the whole thing over?

For me, it’s still the “glue work” between apps: moving data, sending follow-ups, updating CRMs, and checking whether something actually ran. That’s actually a big part of why I built Awish, you describe the outcome in natural language and it builds the cross-app workflow for you. The interesting part is deciding which tasks should still require human approval.
