Original Summary

Hello folks,<p>I am a senior Software Engineer working in the IT field for close to 16 years.<p>Before AI coding tools became prevalent, I enjoyed writing code, architecting software systems, and speaking to the stakeholders. These past 2 - 3 years, since companies have been using AI tools heavily, I noticed most of the work has been delegated to AI. It&#x27;s just prompting it to do work while I monitor its inputs and outputs, then redefining the prompts.<p>This work flow really took away my passion and joy of writing and building software systems. I don&#x27;t know where I am heading next... most of my friends either move on to work on their solopreneur journey or switch careers completely. I can say my passion for building software is definitely diminished due to heavy AI usage<p>Has anyone experienced this? How do you cope with it? Did you end up switching careers?<p>thanks for your comments :)
