You aren’t alone. If you look at my favorite submissions you’ll find some articles written by others that feel the same way.

My advice, keep your skills and brain sharp, use LLMs in your workflow a little to stay under management’s radar. Try to find a line where you can still have fun in this job while sprinkling some LLM use in. Avoid the hype on this site and others.

It is not wrong to enjoy coding for the sake of the craft. Suspect anybody who tells you otherwise.

How well has this advice worked for me? I can’t say yet, I’m still trying to figure it out too. But I’m with you. I’ve been called a Luddite and worse, but if I’m forced to give away all the parts of this job I love the most, I’d rather do something else with my life. Maybe it will come to that. I wish you the best of luck.
