Help people.
Just make sure you're focused on helping people with software. Doing something useful for them. Doesn't matter who/what coded it. were we really writing code anyways? Coding languages are abstractions.
Just get to the heart of what people want. Talk to people and help them. Most humans on Earth, at least, aren't technical.
I find that internal frustrations are solved by external validation. Seeing someone happy and joyful from my work, makes it all worth it.
can't it shift from just building a software to create a new "skill"? for non dev people its just easier to see it in this way.. fullfilling may come with the possibility to create some idea you can't bring to life before vibes. i'm vibe coding and i would be fullfilled if i could achieve reliability on an llm!!
Think of this as yet another abstraction layer. People didn't give up on building web applications just because Python with Django can do it much faster than C. Be more ambitious with your projects!
If you want fulfillment, make your own side projects. Most companies will start requiring some form of LLM for development, and they don't really care how you get to the end goal.

I want a program, I don't want to program.
If you want fulfillment, make your own side projects. Most companies will start requiring some form of LLM for development, and they don't really care how you get to the end goal.
That's exactly what I'm saying is the problem. Side projects aren't as fulfilling when you can literally just have them done in 10 minutes.
