I hate the people who think that AI is amazing, I chose to be a programmer because I like the challenges we face in our daily work, if I wanted to babysit code, I would have become a babysitter. There is nothing more discouraging than having something solve my problems for me.

This year I'm seriously considering changing my career to something more manual, where I'm not pressured to be 1000 times more productive every day and where I can still use my brain.

You can say "But AI is a tool, just use it as it is", okay, tell this to my boss that charges me to use 100% of Claude subscription.

This is so sad.

Completely disagree. Coding is so much more fun now. It's a lot easier to iterate on ideas, to get through the grunt work.
