In my experience, braindead busywork is largely non-existent. Yes, there are times when you'll have to do something easy that conforms to code requirements and standards. But when the frontend needs to update something that is coming from a server, there is a real opportunity to discover, illuminate, and even solve architectural issues. Sometimes that solution is to use GraphQL to make it easier to manage client implementation fan-out and requirement diversity. But GraphQL is never a substitute for communication and collaboration.
