Ask HN: Does anyone enjoy work anymore?

Posted by jackmalpo on Monday November 02, 2026 @04:30PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Now that all I do is basically prompt AI all day, I'm struggling to actually enjoy work anymore. I don't get in the flow like I used with coding, which was when I loved the job the most. I'm finding all of the AI trends boring at this point. Trying to go with the flow, but not sure I'm enjoying the ride... How are y'all feeling?

what i would love is an engine that thinks more like a human. presumably since this uses stockfish annotated games, it basically ends up thinking like a computer. thinking like a human would be awesome for game reviews to walk through things to note in different positions (tuned to my elo).

when will people realize that most consumers don't care about the infrastructure of the product they're using. they don't care if it's on a single server, blockchain, yada yada. they really only care about the experience of using the product.
