Sadly nobody responded, but I feel for you. Thing is, in my experience, work has gotten 10x more fun. Wrangling syntax and handling hundreds of little things that have no intrinsic meaning, just pure unadulterated accidental complexity, suck the joy out of my life. I experience no flow when I'm reading about how library X decided to interface with component Y in environment Z. It's all the same bloody thing over and over and over again. Connect this persistence to that service. Connect this service to that API. Log, sanitize input, log, write to persistence, read out of persistence, log, format into a response shape, log, audit, goddamn repeat, repeat, repeat. FFS. Now I can just ideate, manage intent, control the architecture and let the bots handle the state management, all the endless and bullshit layout issues, writing SQL for the millionth time, the endless little things that suck time and energy out of my soul. I can have applications running in a day that took me a week and they look better too. It comes at a price indeed.. perhaps I am more suited to this age than the good coders of yore. |
