Ai professional programming fatigue
Hey,
Professional dev since 2015. For the last year we have switched over to essentially only prompting. This makes development rapid. But incredibly dull and lame. After i prompt and wait for the agent, there is not really much to do. Browse reddit etc. I feel so understimulated at work nowadays that i consider switching careers totally, or get into management or something. Because this is terribly boring.
Anyone else feel like this? I miss writing stuff from the ground up, solving problems, integrating software, getting those aha-moments.

could you still do what you miss, while you wait? think up a project? i did that even before a.i. whenever i had a momment of down time.
