My “burnout” is more like demotivation. I see a program that can do a lot or most of what I can do, and I’m like “what’s the point?” I could spend hours doing what ChatGPT can churn out in seconds… but typing out what I want ChatGPT to write, while technically more efficient than writing the code myself, is dull.

I’m exploring alternative careers and kind of want programming to just be a hobby.
