I feel the same way. I used to love to get into a flow state while programming and feel very proud of clever code and elegant architecture. But now LLMs are so much faster it feels somewhat pointless.

The code is still there, you can still flow with it. And your ability to do so (along with the LLM) will only produce superior results in the long run.
It's just, yes, like all of us .. the temptation is there to not do that.
You can't ride a horse from New York to Washington DC today, and it hasn't been possible for almost 100 years.
So enjoy the manual coding while you can. I don't hold out hope that it will be possible in the long run.
Deletionists have been circling html since the beginning and have only managed to get rid of document.writeln() they tried really hard to get rid of framesets but ultimately failed.
I suspect in the long run a similar lack of "success" getting rid of Apache.
There are probably other things that are here to stay.

At work the pace has increased so much that there really isn't room for writing by hand.
