Me personally if I had the money to get out of dev I would just not fun anymore if you HAVE to use AI to code instead of doing it yourself. That's the name of the game, velocity.

I like making things myself, I have self-navigating robotics projects I do on my own time, but I'm not gonna use an AI to do it for me, the joy I get is figuring it out myself.

I will use AI if I'm stuck on something or need a specific algo written that I've spent enough time on and couldn't figure out.
