These posts are so exhausting and telling of those who never enjoyed programming in the first place. Wish these were a wake up call to those posting that they’ve been in it for reasons they haven’t been able to understand till now.
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?
