Same. I used to really like interviewing, but the AI cheaters combined with development as just a job has destroyed the experience. I did participate in interviewing an intern a few weeks ago who showed some passion and energy, and they got the role, so a small victory.

> development as just a job

Hobbists are discarded at the first pass I guess.

Those are much better than the hustlers.
My impression is that lots of developers are now much more motivated by money than tech passion (I entered the field in the Office Space era where programmers were considered nerdy accountants who love computers).

Instead over the last 2 decades, we’ve seen the finance bro pipeline diverted to tech bros.
