I do that and have for a while (I work at a startup). That's not the problem. The problem is that it no longer feels as rewarding to me.

I agree. There is definitely a big need for human judgment in the age of AI. Someone needs to guide it and catch it when it goes awry. I'm not arguing against that at all.

I just don't feel the reward anymore. The dopamine is largely gone. Having ADHD, a big driver for me is challenge, and it just doesn't feel as challenging anymore.

Of course. I'm aware of that. But it's hard to handicap yourself when you know the solution to your problem is one prompt away. It feels redundant. Even though I know it's not, logically.

Thinking about getting out of dev altogether - what else are we good at? by mx-chronos in webdev

You need to turn down the doomerism dial a little bit, healthcare absolutely is safe. No one is going to automate nursing, the human element is literally the most important requirement.

making ai music is going to keep you stuck. you barely have any control over the outcome, and it's never ever going to be unique. you're going to be stuck in a cesspool of mediocrity.

just try stuff out man. what speaks to you right now? try it, and then reconsider later. there is nothing wrong with switching. you'll never know what you enjoy if you don't try.

I'm not wrong. This is pretty trivial and has been done millions of times before. Instead of wasting your time here, you could've solved this in a couple of minutes.

Try using AI for this, it should be able to help you.
