I too am feeling this way. I liked the deep engagement and flow state that came at least to me through actually typing out my program and having to deeply think about things.

I’m sure programmers who wrote their code on punch cards felt the same. Then programmers who wrote in assembler felt the same about high-level languages and optimising compilers.
All those new, higher level languages required you to at least somewhat know what you're doing. LLM users rarely do, specially the kind of people who purely vibecode. This will end terribly.
I'm sure they did, and this analogy comes up every time I bring this up. Usually, there's mention of calculators as well.
