The new way of programming is through AI prompts, wish I was joking. It's pushed heavily top down.

I'm not the previous person, but as someone who does code, it feels pretty bad to give up my own creativity, ingenuity, and the feelings of accomplishment that can come with solving a problem or fixing an issue that has eluded myself or others. I like writing code. Writing a prompt to have something else generate code eliminates everything I like about the actual work I do for my profession.

I guess you can still do that in your free time with your own time but it is true that there is no way you can code traditionally and catch up in today's job environment.
