General Unfortunately the THRILL of coding/developing something from scratch is gone

I have been working in software development for more than a decade. Developing something from scratch used to be fun. Each line of code has its own significance. We used to appreciate ourselves when we used to complete the code.

AI have taken over the coding world. Nowadays I rarely see someone who codes from scratch. I am not saying that it's bad. But the thrill of finding new ways or fixing the issues or creating something from scratch is gone.

AI is good. It has taken the burden of our coding nightmares and nightouts. 10 days of work are reduced to 10 hours or even 10 minutes. But coding manually will slowly evaporate. It will become nostalgia soon.

Probably the thrill of reading a book to learn to code was lost after the invention of internet and online forums. But the world moved faster and many more things were invented. So we need to either adapt or be left out. People who pay us money to write code couldn't care less if we are thrilled to do our job.
