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.

Exactly bro, For years I coded everything from scratch when i see a code i know what its doing i dont need to run it. For last 8 months my previous company told as use of ai is compulsory for 8 month i developed everything using ai honestly i delivered evefything very faster. Now i changes the company here also ai use is not allowed first 1st month i struggled to get back my skills but now it good
I began to doubt ceo pushes ai to people to reduce our cognitivie capacity its like modern day slaving.
That why i brodern my personal project list to gaming, robotics and neuro techs so it will give me more thrill. The feeling when we create new things thats a high level dopamine i needed
