This sounds like that bitter old engineer that is unable to learn and adapt as things change, the kind that gives all of us more senior folks a bad stigma. Times are changing, adapt and grow.
> something more pleasant and useful, like plowing fields
That's definitely not something I find pleasant, though it's useful. I personally find using LLMs to be both pleasant and useful though, compared to the alternatives. Maybe I'll vibe something to help with plowing. You know, like people harnessed animals, and then made machines, as apparently they too didn't find plowing a pleasant activity. The harnessed animals probably didn't either.
Abstaining from something you use for 11 months out of the year doesn't strike me as "bitter old engineer that is unable to learn and adapt as things change".

If you have to change job why not turning to something more pleasant and useful, like plowing fields?
I'd much rather do that then being an AI babysitter.
