How AI stole my coding joy - can I get it back?

Don't expect tech deep-dives, shiny tools, or “ten prompts that will change your life.” This talk is about how it feels to be a software developer in the AI era, and what that shift has done to me.

The work I used to love looks very different now. Some of that change is useful. A lot of it is quietly uncomfortable. I’ll share the consequences I’ve noticed, the thoughts that keep coming back, and the parts of coding joy that got lost along the way.

Along the way I’ll run a few quick interactive polls, nothing fancy, just a way to see whether your experience matches mine, or whether we’re all going through something slightly different.

After the talk, I’d love a short open discussion. Maybe together we’ll find a remedy. Or at least name the problem more honestly.

See you there.
