Anecdatum, but I'm over 40 and do not find coding tedious and am not excited by AI coding per se.



Likewise.

I love coding. I’m not excited by AI coding but I am curious. I find it useful in quite limited ways.

I have recently started an Ansible project where Aider helped me get off the ground and expand a little bit. Then it made a mess out of it so some other day I’ll have to find the time to start over.

It was useful though, and I’ll use some of the bits created by the LLM to kickstart it in anger next time around.


but I also work on interesting and varied stuff, and not web front end/backend du jour garbage


Neither do I, maybe that's the real difference here and not age
