This is exactly my problem.

I got into this industry because I enjoy programming, and I wanted to get paid for what I enjoy.

It sucks that the fun part of the job is gone.

Same.. and now everything can be done SO FAST it's just stupid.

I used to love taking the time to whiteboard my project, write the code in peace (with maybe a background show). Go through the steps of structuring, debugging, testing.

Now I can write a prompt to basically do what I do instantly, and now I'm the manager and tester of something I didn't truly even make.

So sure the upside is I can do more, and I basically have to use it because I can't even keep up with what people want me to do without it. And it also seems so silly to go back.

Everything fun is just gone.
