Tbh I completely lost motivation to learn new CS topics. Before AI I used to enjoy digging into complex things, systems design, low level stuff, algorithms, architecture… now it feels pointless sometimes.

AI can generate code in seconds, and honestly in many cases the code quality is already better than what average or even senior engineers write. Coding itself feels cheaper and cheaper every month.

Now I keep asking myself: what’s even worth learning anymore as a software engineer?
