I strongly relate to this. At some level, the rise of AI assistants a few years after I learned to code was a major, and unpleasant, inflection point in my enjoyment of programming. Debugging became less satisfying, and the sense of mastery I once enjoyed creating something out of nothing seems cheapened by its automation.

I totally agree with you. I don’t know if there will be any value in the future in continuing to code without AI assistants. I mean, in the physical world, handmade goods are valuable… but the question is whether anyone will value handcrafted code. I hope so
