I Used to Love Coding. Now I Just Prompt.

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

Last weekend, I opened my laptop. No deadline. No client. No pressure. Just me, my keyboard, and a Sunday afternoon. A few years ago, this was my favorite way to spend time. I'd open VS Code, start something random - a game, a tool, a weird experiment - and lose myself for hours. No reason. No goal. Just the pure joy of making something from nothing. Last Sunday, I stared at the screen for 20 minutes. Then I opened Cursor. Typed a prompt. AI wrote the code. I copied it. It worked. I closed my laptop. The whole thing took 7 minutes. And I felt nothing.
