      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates
