I haven’t been “interested in programming” for decades probably since I started doing it professionally. It was, is and always has been a method to get companies with money to give me some of that money to exchange for food and shelter and to support my hobbies and life outside of work.
I like the design aspect of implementations. But coding has always been drudgery. LLMs have removed a lot of that drudgery. I just test the output and read it for correctness, see if it’s well formed etc.
