Doesn't mean it's not all the same or boring drudge work :).
Though I disagree with GP's reply to you about being product-oriented and such - 90% of products are just "system integration" with some custom marketing graphics and a sprinkle of vendor lock in :).
Combination of standardization and AI will end in a great carnage of software developer jobs, as system integration is basically the poster child of a job that should not exist in ideal world - i.e. all problems are problems of insufficient automation or insufficient ability to cope with complexity. But there's only so much demand for R&D and creating bona fide new capabilities, and not everyone wants to be a manager or a salesperson...
IDK, might be really the time to pick some trade skills, as manual labor in the field is likely the last thing to be automated away.
