Am i getting bored of programming?
Just a recap of last year i have not written that much blog. I’ve started working at a Startup. Currently it is going great work life balance is good and i am encountering some complex problem, but as i am learning things and doing programming for over last 5–6 year i at a point where i feel programming things is boring. I just already know what are the changes i have to do to complete it. It’s just i become lazy doing it as it repeated task.
Things I still like
- If it’s a new feature that is separate from basic CRUD operations, I enjoy working on it. Otherwise, I prefer having a junior developer handle smaller and repetitive tasks.
- Researching and implementing new features in an application, including creating POCs.
- Debugging bugs that are difficult to hunt down.
- Making architecture-level improvements to the codebase.
- Tinkering with things.
- Breaking down requirements, gathering clarity, and having a complete picture of what’s going on.
- Sometime breaking things
What i think is happening
I have been programming for around 6 years, with about 2.5 years of professional experience and an additional 9 months as an intern. I’ve realized that I have already implemented many basic features multiple times across both Frontend and Backend, using various technologies.

I am not a DSA-focused person, but I understand the fundamentals of programming and learn things as and when required. I can convert business logic into if–else conditions and build working solutions.
I have worked in Backend, Frontend, Web3, IoT, and DevOps. Essentially, I am a full-stack developer. However, at this point, I feel like I want someone else to handle repetitive tasks for me — such as implementing validations or creating standard UI from Figma — even when the tasks are not new.
What AI & other people have to say about it
Yes i am asking AI to get a summarized view & also search web why this is happening and do other people have same problem. The think is as i am growing and upgrading slowly i will start to give repetitive task to other people and use AI instead of doing it myself. Using AI along with programming is so much help for me. It just that i am upgrading over time.
