当我十几岁开始编程，二十出头就以此为生时，我欣喜若狂。我从未把它当成事业来追求，不是为了钱或名声，青少年很少关心现实中事情的报酬。这些年来，我了解到编码并非终极目标。那些获得最多回报的人根本不写代码，而是做架构和设计文档。或者更好的是，管理那些写代码的人。纯粹的写代码被看作是通往“真正”职业的中间步骤——在企业环境中成为一个优秀的~善于吹嘘的~沟通者。但我坚持了下来。我可以在日常工作中扮演企业里的螺丝钉——最终它能带来不错的收入——同时在空闲时间捣鼓自己的东西，尝试创业。但后来，最后一根稻草来了——大型语言模型（LLMs）。我以为我可以避免它，但似乎每家公司都强制要求使用它，因为要提高生产力!!!!111。起初我抵制，后来有人暗示，如果我不跟上，我的工作可能不保。市场很糟糕，我现在是个成年人，有成人的责任，换工作不再那么容易。而且，没有人保证下一份工作不会赶上人工智能的潮流。所以我吞下了这颗药丸，开始使用并拥抱人工智能，希望再次重复我之前的模式——在工作中成为他们希望我成为的人，并在空闲时间享受“手艺”。但人工智能甚至在我的空闲时间也吸走了我对“手艺”的乐趣。如果我不使用人工智能来构建自己的SaaS/业务——那么其他人就会“更快地进入市场”。如果我使用，那么我将创造出我不在乎的垃圾软件。我开始想象放弃这一切，去做木工之类的，同时努力应付我的日常工作，直到人工智能不可避免地取代我（要么是它自己，要么是因为涌入这个世界的年轻人，他们天生就比我更有能力）。而我不再知道该怎么办。我的日常工作有截止日期。可能是5年，也可能是15年。我曾希望创办一家科技公司，逃离“老鼠赛跑”，但我再也找不到任何动力或欲望去做，因为人工智能基本上消除了任何进入门槛。我几十年的经验基本上在一夜之间消失了，我正在与任何拥有Claude账号的人竞争。也许我只是一个糟糕的商人。总之，我感到被困住了。我不再从我过去和现在所拥有的东西中获得乐趣，而这正是我近20年来所塑造的身份。所以，亲爱的HN，接下来该怎么办？

When I start to program as a teenager, and it became my job in my early twenties, I was happy over the moon. I never made it my career because of money or prestige, teenagers rarely care about how much things pay in real life.Over the years, I've learned that coding is not the ultimate goal. People who get rewarded the most are not doing coding at all but doing aRcHiTecTure and DeSigN dOcuMents. Or better, manage the ones who write code. Purely writing code is seen as an intermediary step into something "real" - the true profession of being a good ~bullshitter~ communicator in a corporate environment.But I kept going. I could be the corporate worm at my day-to-day job - it pays well in the end - while messing with writing my own stuff and trying to build a business in my free time. But then, the final nail on the coffin came in - LLMs.I thought I could avoid it, but it seems like every company just mandates It's because pRodUctiVity!!!!111 So at first I resisted, then I was hinted that if I won't catch up, my job could be at risk. The market is shit, I am an adult now so I have adult responsibilities, and changing jobs is no longer that easy. Plus, nobody guarantees that the next job won't jump on the AI bandwagon. So I swallowed the pill, and started to use, and embrace, AI, hoping, once again, to reuse my old pattern - be who they want me to be at work, and enjoy the "craft" in my free time.But AI has sucked the joy of the craft even in my free time. If I don't use AI to build my own SaaS / business - then others will "get to market" faster. If I do, then I will create a slopware for which I don't care.I started to imagine dropping it all and doing woodworking or something, while trying to slowly grind through my day-to-day job until AI will inevitably replace me (either by itself, or because of an influx of young people who are born into that world, will just become more capable than me).And I no longer know what to do. My day-to-day job has an expiration date. It could be 5 years, it could be 15. I was hoping to build a tech business and escape the "rat race", but I am no longer able to find any motivation or desire to do so, as AI basically remove any barrier to entry. My decades of experience vanished basically overnight, and I am competing with everyone who has access to a Claude account. Or maybe I'm just a bad businessman. Anyway, I feel trapped. I no longer get enjoyment from a thing that was, and is, my identity that I have crafted almost 20 years.So dear HN, what's next?

Ask HN：我从软件开发中 burnout 了。现在怎么办？
