I'm with you 100%. AI has sucked the fun out of coding and IT work. There’s no satisfaction in solving problems anymore. I'm also just a few years away from 60, so I think we are on the same page. Maybe it is fatigue, I dunno.. you tell me.

Let me clarify a litle bit. why am I with this HN guy? My work is now forcing this nonsense on everyone. Like any other major IT work, they think it is the future because C-suites are getting free BJs from AI companies. I don't want to use these tools, not even for paid work. The other day, I wrote a small Python script to automate certain tasks for my own needs. Now, that was fun for me, but not this forced AI bullshit. Forced stuff never work on people who can think & knows what's good & bad

@nixCraft if you consider code reviews fun, then using clankers is the way to go.
Which is another issue I have with LLM coding. If I have to review the code, and understand it to male sure it does what it is supposed to, what's the benefit of using them? The cognitive load is about the same, no?

@Unlogic @nixCraft
This is precisely the point I raised with one of my children’s primary school.
Teacher: “don’t worry, we teach them how to evaluate AI’s output”.
Me: “this requires critical thinking and ability to fact check. Why not focus on those instead?”
