That's what I'm saying, though. It's all fun for me. Whenever people talk about boilerplate as if it's an onerous requirement, I can't relate. Because I enjoy writing even the most mundane code.

Right now, I think machine generation of code is not usable because you can't trust it. The current tools are known to confidently give wrong answers, and accordingly I don't trust them (same as I wouldn't trust a human teammate who did that). But I think that's a problem which will be solved, and once that happens it'll be quite simple. Developers who use such tools will outcompete those who don't, so everyone will have to adapt or die.

I'm not worried about not having a job, because I have been in the tech world long enough to know you have to be ready to adapt. I'll adapt, and I'll keep on trucking. But I do think that I will stop enjoying my job, and that makes me sad.
