I'm aware that I'm probably an outlier, but implementing the solution is the actual rewarding part for me

AI does nothing for me there. Coming up with the hypothetical solution and having AI build it does nothing for me

I like to build

I also love to build. And I'm mourning the loss of coding as a craft that is sought after and well compensated. I like to get my hands dirty and it feels wrong that I can basically write specs and the real labor that I love is done for me. But it also allows me to build some pretty amazing stuff that I would have never been able to do otherwise. So I'm slowly accepting it and want to come up with ways to coexist. I code for several hours a day because and will continue to do so because even after 36 years I still get joy and comfort from it
