I'm feeling the same. I'm 21, basically just started my career.

Nothing felt better than writing code, and feeling proud of what I had built. Now I am being forced at work to use AI/LLMs because "it's faster" and I feel like my whole life, the career I fought for, has been sucked away.

Idk, might switch to driving trains, if they don't automate that too...

As with the sibling comment, I advise you to be skeptical of causation: lots of corporations have weird office politics and you'll need to rule that out before you can tell if it's AI or just your boss.

I'm surprised they've not already been entirely automated away. A few lines were created fully automated and seem to have managed fine ever since. Much easier than self-driving cars.

You are too young to even remotely reliably assert cause. Things get less fun when you do them more often, and you’ll be facing the realities of ‘professional’ development, if you’ve even started doing that yet.

Be careful to not falsely attribute this to AI just because the chronically online kids are all up in arms about it.
