no. the hard part was never programming anyway but mapping the real world ever mutating quirks into regular structures

  Maybe in your corner of the world. In mine, programming in and of itself, i.e. devising mechanically executable (a.k.a. algorithmic) solutions to well-specified problems, is by far the hardest task.

    Well, polish your resume. Sounds like your job actually could be replaced by a computer.

      Thanks for your concern. Of course I'm constantly learning new skills to avoid being left behind. However, present-day artificial intelligence is still very far from being able to replace my job.

    if it's well specified but hard to convert into an executable it's time you invest in selling a transpiler into your specific domain - however, if the problem is creating the algorithm and not whatever language you're using then we're telling the same thing

      It's a completely different well-specified problem each time.
