In the world of AI, we should think in a completely new way—aiming to build more with less effort. The focus should shift from just writing code to generating innovative ideas. In the era of AI, solutions are easier to find and implement, so we should invest more time in solving problems and leveraging AI’s potential to simplify and accelerate the process.

This indeed can be challenging. Few strategies that i can think of 1. If you find yourself repeating the same task, consider automating it. Writing scripts or using tools to handle the monotony can free up time for more creative problem-solving. 2. Use repetitive tasks as opportunities to deepen knowledge. Experiment with different approaches, libraries, or tools while working on them. 3. Break your work into smaller, focused sprints. Alternate between repetitive and more engaging tasks to keep a balance. 4. Collaborating with peers or mentoring someone can bring fresh perspectives and make repetitive tasks more interactive.

To stay creative with repetitive coding tasks, I experiment with new tools, libraries, and frameworks, and break tasks into smaller challenges. I also revisit code for optimization and follow clean code practices. Collaborating with peers and mentoring junior developers brings fresh perspectives, while setting personal goals or tracking progress gamifies the process. Regular breaks help refresh my mind, and continuous learning through certifications and exploring non-technical areas like UI/UX design sparks creativity. By staying curious and focused on improvement, I keep my work engaging and innovative.

If I find myself doing repetitive tasks: 1. I see if a common service class could answer my needs. 2. I try to DRY up a code if it's a legacy code and you can always find new perspectives when you look at your last code. 3. Documenting always helps it make the future reliable with new developers. 4. Just never say "Don't touch the code if it works". I lean towards meta coding, writing my generators, and automating the whole experience. 5. And if you started a project with delevering first then you might have missed tons of test cases then get to that first, as long as you remember what this code should do.

I've turned my coding playbook into a Trello canvas, where each card captures a unique workflow or setup. It's like having digital sticky notes for my development shortcuts!

Automating repetitive tasks can save time and free up mental energy for creative thinking. Experimenting with new approaches or side projects keeps the work engaging. Learning related concepts or techniques adds depth and opens up new possibilities. Changing your environment or adding music can refresh your mindset. Regular breaks help maintain focus and prevent burnout.

- Optimize the code in any way possible - Try to automate the process part by part - standardize the task as much as possible - document the process

I automate repetitive tasks with scripts or tools to save time and focus on more engaging work, mostly N8N. I also like to set small goals, take regular breaks, and explore new approaches or techniques to keep things fresh and creative.

I used to break task into small chunks then which is generic chunk i keep it separate and parametrised functions so next repetitive task should only only need configuration changes and taken care of

Break tasks into smaller challenges: Reframe repetitive work into a series of small, manageable puzzles to solve. Code reviews and feedback: Engage in code reviews to get new insights and share ideas. I do these to stay creative.
