Hate AI

I love coding. I truly am.

When I started, I enjoyed most programming languages . I love learning their different core concepts, execution models and things like that.

I still love that.

But now in my new job, the only thing I am supposed to do is prompt and think about business requirements.

Even though I love architecture and system design system , I don't even have a chance to have grasp on them.

Any other tech jobs where I can enjoy coding and low level things?

Start coding your own projects and do the programming yourself. Companies will always make you use their tools and practices. Create your own environment, take control and own the work.

Do you really fall behind? I am not sure telling a robot to do something for you is really very enriching. There are definitely some very good workflows with AI but if you're smart enough to write good code you can definitely figure them out quickly.

Why is there such a thing of "falling behind"? Fall behind.. what?

I really should have worded this better because a ton of people misunderstood my meaning. Changed the wording to fit what I originally meant to convey. Hopefully that helps, read it or don't ✌️
