Question Details
I'm really struggling to stay motivated in school atm. I have one semester left until graduation and can't see myself going into tech even if I was able to find a decent position. I do not enjoy vibe coding/AI prompting at all, but that very much looks to be the future of SWE. This is not what I signed up for when I started CS a few years back. I am one of those that very much enjoys the manual coding aspects of software design and that's where a lot of the satisfaction comes from for me when you get a clean finished product that you produced yourself line by line. I have stopped doing LeetCode grinding and any sort of intensive coding tasks to upskill, I think it's a mix of depression and some nihilism and disillusionment regarding the entire tech scene at this point, all of the current problems with it and what it's becoming. I know there has to be other people who feel the same way. I refuse to believe that the majority of people find something like vibe coding interesting and rewarding. I just love the fact that I chose to go into this field right as this massive upheaval and transition occurred.
