I don't understand what's difficult about enjoying programming now that LLMs are everywhere. It's akin to musicians who still play their instruments despite having the ability to stream any music they'd like. Nothing's stopping them from playing their instrument. Why is programming any different?
The problem is skilled artisans like musicians and programmers used to be _neccessary_ for the work to be done, now technology means in many cases the practical approach will use machines instead of humans for the majority of cases. handcrafted is better but a luxury. The enjoyment of being needed is what’s lost.
