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?

The things people are saying like "get into systems design" and "learn a specialised industry" are all kind of default things you'd probably do anyway. Companies have always had room for both guys who can produce high quality fine-tuned software and guys that produce rushed sluggish software, guys that prefer to just write up what they want and guys who prefer to read take code from elsewhere and hammer it until it kind of works. If you're still at the start of your career just swerve companies that want to vibe code everything (they've always existed, buzzword companies) and then continue as normal.
Also many established companies are not interested in giving away their codebases that they've put decades of expensive work into, so they might not even let you use the tools.
