I'm always surprised to never see any comments in those discussions from people who just like coding, learning, solving problems… I mean, it's amazing that LLMs can build an image converter or whatever you dream of, in a language you don't know, in a field you are not familiar with, in 1 hour, for 30 cents… I'm sure your boss and shareholders love it. But where is the fun in that? For me it kills any interest in doing what I'm doing. I'm lucky enough to work in a place where using LLMs is not mandatory (yet), I don't know how people can make it through the day just writing prompts and reviewing AI slop.

After decade(s) working with either enterprise crud or web agency fancy websites, the novelty wears off.

It's just boring and I'm glad to delegate most of the repetitive work.

But sure, if I'm doing something new, I still like to craft lines of code myself.
