yes coding is dead but i like having less rounds with QA and more "nice to have" juice in my projects .
i feel that what i miss the most is not the coding it self but the effort i used to put in to it. no effort no dopamine no happy.
since i got into the coding because it's a tool to solve problems, and now i have a better tool to solve the same problems, this is what im working on reclaiming, the effort part.
As i said, most of the devs never enjoyed coding. But even on their place I wouldn't be happy. Now way less qualified people can do their work.
