I consider myself to have been a 'pretty good' programmer in my heyday. Think 'assembly for speed improvements' good.

Then came the time of 'a new framework for everything, relearn a new paradigm every other week. No need to understand the x % 2 == 0 if we can just npm an .iseven()' era ... which completely destroyed my motivation to even start a new project.

LLMs cut the boilerplate away for me. I've been back building software again. And that's good.
