Dear HN,For the past months, maybe a year, I have lost any interest in technology, software and hardware. When I was a teenager, I had very big passion to software engineering, and have seen technology as something good, a way to improve peoples lives.With the arrival of AI, everything changed. Don t get me wrong, I like that I can tell Claude what to do, while I can do something else, but I can t keep closing my eyes onto the fact that I m basically pushing myself out of the job market. Sure, you could argue that I should write code by hand, but this is a competitive disadvantage on a market that lost its mind.On top of all that, almost every new technological progress is a wolf in sheep clothes. If you remove the fluff and the marketing, it seems like all these new startups are just yet another get-rich-quick-schemes where they raise as much money as possible, while promising one thing to the users, but delivering another. And when they eventually cash-out, everyone is left worse off.I m approaching 40. Maybe I m just getting old and nostalgic. But I don t know how to move forward, how do I keep working and motivating myself. I lost any interest in work, or any care I had for the product (why should I care? It s not mine anymore when Claude writes everything). I lost any hope in technology in the terms that it will bring us to a better future. And I honestly, don t know what to do anymore.
