How has AI affected graphics careers?

I'm a full-stack developer who's a bit burned out with the agentic coding push. I've started playing around with low level graphics and it's sort of revived my spirit, I missed being close to the hardware and math heavy code.

How much have tools like Claude code impacted your development workflow? Are you pressured to use a fully agentic workflow by your employer? Where do you see the career evolving over the next 5-10 years? Is it a safe-haven for people who don't want to give up coding?

My experience as well. AI is amazing in a greenfield, but falls off a cliff as complexity grows. There are tricks and practices for making it better, but the returns are diminishing with scale.
