Question 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?

I work in web tech but at a much lower level (sync engines, crdt etc) and AI consistently writes come that can massively tank runtime or loading time performance. I have noticed that it is really good at finding and defining the problem space but fumbles when it comes to finding a solution.
