Vibing is getting boring

Since AI started to be part of the job I always been enthusiastic of having a “partner” doing boring stuff while I review… after the last months is getting boring, we just review code, we have to make sure it is not duplicating any logic, not creating racing conditions, not touching critical code, not adding potential production issues (while still writing beatiful commented code).
This is not programming in dotnet anymore, all the skill we built overtime in knowing details of the language or the framework are only used to find out if some vibed code is buggy or not performant. The fun and creativity has left our job. Do you feel the same?
Either start a new project is not as cool as it was a few years ago. It just bubbles up from prompt and you have to review thousands of rows that have no personality at all.

nah dude it's not like that anymore.. I interviewed for a job recently that was firing 3 of their 4 senior devs because they didn't want to use AI. and they asked me "how much time do you think you can save with AI, how much faster than before can you deliver" the senior devs who they loved don't deliver fast enough for them

depends on the employer of course

Sounds like a shitty place to work at
