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.
@nixCraft So a tool that you don't HAVE to use sucks the fun out of your hobby? 🤔
That's ridiculous.
AI is a tool. A tool is a device that allows you to expend fewer calories performing a task.
You don't have to use it.
My grandmother used to knit because she enjoyed knitting, not because she needed to knit. She could have used tools, but the fun was in her hands doing it.
