       Tired of AI When will this era end?
        
       First fancy LLMs, then image generation, then assistants, then
       agents... When will this end? I'm tired of this hype. Everytime I
       open HN, or any other community based platform, everyone is talking
       about AI. Why does this ick me? Am I alone? Simply because i've
       spent my past years, learning how to code, building stuff, reading
       docs, debugging, scraping through stackoverflow etc.... Am I just,
       jealous? Or is it really a bad feeling to see something you enjoyed
       doing, doesn't seem enjoyable nowadays.... When will this hype end?
       Will the future be even deeper? I am unable to cope. And every year
       it gets harder. I just miss the old days, is this an SDDS? Software
       Developer Dementia Syndrome? All new products, all new launches,
       everything is now a wrapper of some LLM's API. I used to hate that
       everyday we had a JS framework/library... but now I just wish we
       can get back there, lol. But yeah, this is tech, we have to
       normalized and accept it and ride the wave. The only problem is I
       hate vibe-coding... the most beautiful thing in the Tech was taken
       away from us... coding. Yeah like or not, at this rate 5-6 years
       from now, i think it will be obsolete. What do we do next?

       | But, I think in this year you can avoid reading HN if the news
       | about AI hurt. AI only exists if you let it inside your brain,
       | you can remove most of AI by not reading news

       | Every open req gets hundreds of applications within the first day
       | and it's almost impossible to stand out. AI has just accelerated
       | the process

       | coding
       | 
       | Yes, there'll be casualties. The most beautiful thing in tech
       | isn't coding: it's producing value at scale.
