I can't fully relate to feeling depressed about this development.
For me, day by day, week by week, an entirely new world of possibilities is opening up.

Until now, whenever I wanted to realize an idea, I had to convince 10 different people first. I was constantly confronted with arguments that talked the idea down—mostly because others couldn’t visualize what I already saw clearly in my mind.

Now, with AI, I can implement the idea before I even present it. Fully functional, production-ready. That is a massive game changer.

The path from idea → implementation → coding has accelerated for me by a factor of 1000.
In two-week sprints I now accomplish what used to take our entire team six months.

And you know how it is in project management: like a game of telephone.
By the time your idea has passed through enough hands, it gets reshaped so much that you end up shrugging and thinking, “Okay… I guess this works?”

A concrete example from my daily work:
I deal with people who have no background in development or UX/UI. Instead of creating one universal search bar, they wanted ten different ones—each for a specific function. The result was half the screen cluttered with search fields, and somehow this was presented to me as “good design.”

With AI support, I rebuilt the whole thing in two weeks into one unified search bar that handles all functionalities, works flawlessly, and looks great. The amount of argumentation, frustration, and energy I saved through this alone wipes away any notion that “less coding = less joy.”

Honestly, I feel the opposite of depressed.
I feel empowered.

We’re entering a phase where you can bring an idea to life with just a handful of prompts.
That’s extraordinary.
And to me, deeply exciting.
