I am checking the application registered in Product Hunt, and side projects in Reddit, and here in hacker news. This is how we are all advised to do, right? Before you submit your project, get familiar with the platform and become honest and helpful member. And I really want to be such person, I read about the products, how they work, what they do.... And I find this boring. As a software developer, I don't see the excitement anymore. To read the description and to say to myself, this is fantastic, what a great algorithm, what a complex infrastructure, what a interesting challenge has been solved, how did they get to this approach, this is unique!

Everything (or mostly), even myself, with my product now, I see the same pattern: UI, some APIs, and AI does the interesting things, killing most of the exciting parts of the development. What was really exciting for me, before, was the challenge. To fight with it! To search the solution, the sleepless nights, trying to figure out the case. And the big relieve and excitement of the success! To be proud of the results of your hard work!

Now, I see the same boring thing: in case of any challenge, issue, question, call the AI.

Writing prompts can be boring :(

Where is the excitement?

How you all feel about this? Does our work, as software developers, become boring?
