I agree almost completely except in the very last sentence. I loved figuring out something hard, solving things at the limit of my abilities. The fun is gone.

Also, wanted to say it feels like I am just a human API for the LLM, I use these tools at work but now I see atrophy of my old skills, and I worry, what if they just rack up prices and im locked out of my job cause I traded one set of skills for another.

I’m not judging these tools’ quality or side effects. They **do** make me extremely more productive, so using them is kind of mandatory. I am talking about programming as something I did for fun that just happened to put food on the table. The 'for fun' part is gone. Soon the 'for money' as well.
