I think it's about evaluating the practical strengths and weaknesses of genAI for coding tasks, and trying to pair your skillset (or areas of potentially quick skill learning) with the weaknesses. Try using the tools and see what you like and dislike. For example I use a code copilot for autocomplete and it's saving my carpals; I'm not a true SWE more a code-y DS, but autocomplete on repetitive SQL or plotting cells is a godsend. It's like when I first learned vi macros, except so much simpler. Not sure what your domain is, but I'd wager there are areas that are similar for you; short recipes or utils that get reapplied in slightly different ways across lots of different areas. I would try and visualize what your job could look like if you just didn't have to manually type them; what types of things do you like doing in your work and how can you expand them to fill the open cycles?
