If you were a developer who enjoyed the craft before AI became so prevalent, how have your feelings changed after seeing AI do a lot of the ground work for you? Do you still enjoy it?

No.
the amount of coworkers who have said "<ai tool> said X,Y,Z". Then they make basic mistakes with what they need to do and it becomes my problem.

There has never been a better time to be a developer! Less mechanical debugging, more creative thinking.

To be honest, I’ve started enjoying my favorite job — programming — even more.
Elegant algorithmic solutions and clean architecture always brought me joy.
Now there’s an additional one: reviewing and fixing code generated by AI.
It occasionally makes me feel a bit smarter.
