On every job, I somehow became the person people go to for help, when they're stuck with obscure issues or technologies in the stack no one else has experience in.
So far I loved tackling those, since it often meant debugging challenging issues, helping people out with knowledge, simplifying things by pointing people at the right tool for the job etc.
But recently, this started changing: people approach me with quite complex, often incoherent issues - and it turns out: it's mostly #AISlop
