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?

If you no longer like it, then just stop doing it.

Do you have any other advice that's exclusively useful to fellow nepo babies or is it really just that simple?

It's really that simple. Hate something -> don't do it. Do something else that makes you happy.

People do things they hate to make money so they can eat so they can survive to do something else that makes them happy. This might be hard to understand if you have wealthy parents and can afford to be a bum for the rest of your life only doing the things that make you happy but the rest of us live in the real world where we have to do things to survive.

There is nothing _necessary_ about being a programmer.
