I think it’s more useful to look at the tasks models haven’t gotten better at over time, and the tasks that are hard for them get better at in principle. The two best examples of these are:

  1. Deep familiarity with the codebase
  2. Technical communication

    That’s fair, I have definitely learned more when I add my own weird constraints. Though I also find it takes 10x longer, and what’s frustrating is that even after years of “learning” from this process, I still constantly run into these week-long time sinks troubleshooting various issues in my bespoke configurations. I still have to sift through documentation, forum posts, wiki articles. Do small scale experiments to break things down and figure out what’s going on. Just takes so much time. Perhaps not exactly tutorial hell but still feels like a hell of its own.
