AI Unmasked Our Work as Scaffolding

I think AI is revealing that a vast percentage of knowledge work is scaffolding overhead. In my own field of cybersecurity, 99% of security testing (aka "hacking") isn't thinking about new vulnerabilities, it's stitching up context on the target(s), creating and maintaining tooling, and building and maintaining workflows that allow you to produce quality, consistent tests at scale. Tons of maintenance and support to build this stuff.
