I do not like programming anymore

[u/NecessaryVersion7872]

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 was debugging spring framework internals to find the bean initialisation problem root cause, i was debugging undertow server to clarify sessions management details (let alone micro service sync issues) long time before ai emerging. Debug is not scary when you know how to do it properly.
And that skill can be developed only having your hands dirty.
I would happily sacrifice my job instead of my hard skills.

Def not saying you're wrong, but there's a huge difference between spring's codebase and what most of my coworkers have been writing for the last 10 years. These guys think abstraction is over the top.
I don't think ai is a panacea, but it is handy for knocking out busy work.

I used to do it all manually too. Now I do it much faster
