Same. I think there are two types of devs. Those that love designing the individual building blocks and those that wanna stack the blocks together to make something new.
At this point AI is best at the first thing and less good at the second. I like stacking blocks together. If I build a beautiful UI I don't enjoy writing the individual css code for every button but rather composing the big picture.
Not saying either is better or worse. But I can imagine that the people that loves to build the individual blocks like AI less because it takes away something they enjoy. For me it just takes away a step I had to do to get to the composing of the big picture.
The thing is, i love doing both. But there’s an actual rush of enjoyment when I finally figure one of the tenets of a system. It’s like solving a puzzle for me.
After that, it’s all became routine work as easy as drinking water. You explain the problem and I can quicly find the solution. Using AI at this point would be like herding cats. I already know what code to write, having a handful being suggested is distracting. Like feeling a a tune, and someone playing another melody other than the one you know.
