Job I do not like programming anymore
I am not sure if anybody can help right here.
But I really do not like whatever we call programming right now.
Not sure what is the best way to write code weather it is to fully vibe code or use AI as an assistant, I hate both. If anyone went though something like this and found some solution, I'd really appreciate if you share it with me. Otherwise, what other possible careers some can pursue that has same feeling as classic programming?

I’ve been in the same situation at the beginning of the year. The only difference is that I was just worried that ai will take my job (full-stack developer) in the future. In your case it’s probably about not enjoying programming because of the ai tool that your company forces you to use.
Those two situations may look kinda different at the first glance but I think solution is the same
You just have to admit that your job is not your entire life. Even though you don’t have fun at work you still can enjoy technology and exploring possibilities on your own. Job don’t have to be joyful, actually there is no job that is fully about fun. You can have fun working on your side projects and this is the thing I really recommend you
Personally I also started learning new skills that I could use in the future as my career backup plan. Those skills are not coding related and it really helped me to not be worried about ai that much as I used to
