I'm 60 years old. Claude Code killed a passion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47386813

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
My other biggest hate for AI and all these companies is how they are stealing others' work. Just because someone put their art, song, book, or forum post/wiki contribution online doesn't mean it is free to steal. Not to mention environmental issues. If you really want to train your shitty AI, pay up to all these people first. You have money in trillions. Instead, they are stealing, firing workers, and building massive data centers and surveillance networks to drag down everyone. So fuck off!
@nixCraft besides the fact that hatred is one of the most primitive emotions—because you waste energy on something you gain nothing from and it eats you up inside, you don’t really hate AI, but rather those disgusting commercial corporations we all should avoid as much as possible...

I think many will agree that LLMs are a very cool technical achievement.
But when they are shoved down your throat at every opportunity and CEOs don’t see anything else but LLMs, it all gets rather nauseating.
