True. I like math and CS theory, but despise coding (pays well though). AI is finally taking over this soul-sucking occupation and all I can say - good riddance.

It's an awesome profession for those of us who love it.

Tbf coding with ai is still super fun though. I am hoping that engs who hate it like you will finally get kicked out as productivity increases from ai and it will finally go back to just us nerds.

It's kinda soul-sucking being around all you guys that just hate this work, please get out and go do farming or something lol.

Yes, by definition of "love" and "awesome".

Agree, it could be entertaining.

Ain't gonna happen, as I am pretty good at it.

> please get out and go do farming or something lol.

I thought about, but it is not well paid. I make money mostly from investments though, still do occasional coding stuff - for money.
