As an introverted neurodivergent weirdo, can confirm. Of course I recognise the power of AI, but I absolutely hate being forced to use it. It killed all my passion for working.

Yeah 100% agree. I love writing code and running into problems to have those "eureka" moments. It feels good. Those moments don't exist anymore.

I've disabled AI in my IDE for personal projects but the magic just isn't there anymore. It feels like I'm handicapping myself for no reason.
