> The joy of programming is dying.

Ever since LLMs took over everything I'm working or have worked on, I no longer have fun, no longer feel joy, or challenged to solve issues.

My question is, what now? What's the backup skill or job to develop next and still feel joy with it?

It might be shocking but there is like a whole world outside of computers and even outside of your job.

As a counterpoint, I have enjoyed that last several months greatly. I have been able to solve real, long standing, issues quickly and efficiently.

Not sure what to recommend for you though.

The best idea I've come up with is quitting my job, living on my savings and indulging in my hobbies until I run out of money and then hanging myself in the woods.
