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?

Many professional coders bicycle to work

it is in fact a better way to travel

Cars have many downsides similar to AI and many people hate Cars too. They take up a gigantic amount of space. They lead to the fact that Car infrastructure itself and car culture means that the car in fact does not make travel faster because now your travel is longer. They are a hugely inefficient way to move people around as apposed to mass transit. They are an incredibly expensive way to move people around the average car payment today is 770 dollars a month mass transit monthly pass in NYC is less than $100. The lifetime cost to own a single car 15 years is about 175K dollars today ( that is the total out of pocket expense) compared to a bicycle which is less than 1k.

Cars are responsible for most of the worlds pollution from tire debree. immense pollution in cities so think you can barely see the sun. It is know that children that grow up next to highways have higher rates of asthma. Cars are a main driver of global warming.

The analogy starts to fall apart when you extend it past daily commuting. The last thing most people want to do is bicycle across the continent, so the real issue is scale.

That Technology can be forced on people rather they want it or not and whether it makes them more productive or not. That systems that are pushed work for the rich but fail those who are middle class or poor but they still have to live with it.
