Seven years ago, I thought technical work was the job and everything else was overhead. I was wrong. The political stuff, the relationship management, the endless meetings about buy-in: that *is* the work. And with AI making implementation faster than ever, this ratio has shifted dramatically. The building isn't hard anymore. Figuring out what to build, and getting everyone aligned on building it? That's where the real work lives.
