alt Hacker NewsMy entire life, I have found meaning in solving problems with code. With AI, this is no longer competitive. Now I develop more than ever and am more productive than ever, but it still doesn't feel as rewarding. I would like to go back.

Yeah, I got into this field because I enjoyed solving deep technical problems mostly on my own.
Now instead I don't get to code anymore and I'm the manager of a half-dozen mid-level engineers with unflappable confidence and very, very poor long term memory.

You and me both, man :)
There will be a generation who grow up with AI who don't know how to solve puzzles other than AI told them the answer. They will fill up the SW developer bucket quite quickly so that those who recall the pre-AI days will be vastly outnumbered. It feels bad now but it only going to get worse.
