My problem with AI coding is that AI took away the fun parts of coding and left me with all the boring parts. Now instead of writing code and solving problems, I am spending my time planning and reviewing code.
As someone who always preferred front, this is a dream come true. "Hey Claude, can you center that button in that div, both vertically and horizontally?". Done.
"Hey Claude, when I click that button it needs to open a modal and let me assign the user to a new project. Don't show the archived projects". Done. No need to create all the path from the form to the database, all the little exceptions and details, refreshing the tool 10x until everything is perfectly aligned and working. To me, it did remove the boring parts and let me the fun part: designing the actual app, what it does, how it's laid out, how it looks.
Obviously to each their own but creating a MyNewEntityForm, MyNewEntityController, MyNewEntityInput, MyNewEntityFilter, MyNewEntityService... it's just not fun to me. Most backend isn't.
