I stopped enjoying writing code completely, but its been interesting to watch everyone else who started to enjoy it MORE with Ai.
It seems to be a certain group of programmers who always were more motivated by getting the result out the door than the experience of putting code together in a certain way.
I suspect the era of high salaries as a programmer is over, since companies now feel they can replace people even easier.
That's what I've noticed to. Mm I have co worker who don't even read the code anymore. Full on vibe. Makes me so frustrated
Yeah it is but I guess there is nothing anyone can do about it now. People wont admit it but they know thats how most or all programmers will work in the future.
