Reading more books is a stupid goal, there were years were I read 40 books but didn't absorb anything. Reading needs multiple passes and some time to think about what you've just read.

I've been a developer for 8 years and in the first 7 years I've always heard from people that I was fast at building good quality tools. Now, any developer can match my output easily. I feel no pride anymore in anything I build using AI. The act of really thinking about an elegant solution makes me feel guilty because someone else has written a whole book of code by the time I'm done thinking. It sucks. I hate it and I don't know what to do. I have no energy left to work on side-projects anymore because my soul is sucked out of me every single day and I feel like anyone could just come in and sweep my idea in a few days of vibe coding.
