My experience is the opposite - I haven't used my brain more in a while.. Typing characters was never what developers were valued for anyway. The joy of building is back too.

Same. I feel I need to be way more into the domain and what the user is trying to do than ever before.

100% same, I had brain fog before the llms, I got tired of reading new docs over and over again for new languages. I became a manager and lost it all.

Now back to IC with 25+ years of experience + LLM = god mode, and its fun again.
