I’ve been using Windsurf editor for about six months now, and it does most of the coding work for me.
Recently, I realized I no longer enjoy programming. It feels like I’m just going through the pain of explaining to the LLM what I want, then sitting and waiting for it to finish. If it fails, I just switch to another model—and usually, one of them gets the job done.
At this point, I’ve even stopped reviewing the exact code changes. I just keep pushing forward until the task is done.
On the bright side, I’ve gotten much better at writing design documents.
Anyone else feel the same?
You don't? Sounds to me like you just don't enjoy prompting. Try doing some programming again. Engage your brain with a challenge and try to solve the problem itself not just explain it to an ai and never even look at the code. You enjoy the driving not the destination, getting a taxi there is removing your purpose.
