Does anyone else here have coding-fatigue?
Like if someone gives me a problem (BIG or small), I can chalk out an architecture or "oh you can use this-n-this-n-this"

But if you ask me to code it, though it's easy as fuck, I dont want to and will drag it until I gush 2 coffees to force myself to do it.
You give me a junior dev who knows NOTHING and does the typing and I can guide him and make him do it all, but by myself? nah

PS: this only applies to work-code that isnt "fun" per-se. My own projects? no issues at all

I ask gpt to do the boring code for me

When this happens, I try to make the coding fun again.

Try something new, maybe a new pattern or something like that...

Has only happened to me the last 8 years. Just remember: I get paid to do this.

It happens several times a week for me... in my case probably caused by stress + working on stuff I don't really like at this moment.

@azuredivay
Guess do something as @Grumm describes.
Can imagine things like code blocks or these monkey translation boards helping too?

I moved fatigue after coding and before submitting pull request.
So it’s still there but in different place.

Also I removed architecture part.

So now I just write code then complain about it and then ignore architecture and submit pull request.

I use chatGPT for that — works perfectly

Chat gpt sucks at react. At least according to my boss and team. They don’t like what it does on my pull requests. Of course they won’t tell me the right answer either.

Even when I test it and the code works they are still unhappy ☹️

Perhaps I need a new job.

All fucking day. It goes like this:

- I understand the problem.

- I understand the requirements.

- Here is a comprehensive breakdown of both the ideal solution and even a few alternatives in case we run into something unexpected.

- Also here's a few thousand micro-optimizations I would apply to your piece of shit infrastructure after glancing at the code for five minutes.

- And speaking of massive refactors, there's a few things that have been bothering me about this fucking gonorrhea you call an interface. Yes, I know ten thousand other modules are using it but that doesn't mean we can't rewrite it.

- Just "one" more cup of coffee.

- Get to coding? No way, I'm gonna burn down this entire company with my VISIONARY ideas, might even teach you some mother fucking black magic, if you're willing to be initiated into our occult society. Now put on that toga.

- What do you mean "fired"?

- Please reconsider.

- I said "reconsider". I am armed.
