I'm a senior, mostly full-stack-web developer, but I also have done some desktop apps and dabbled in other platforms as well. I wrote code for over 20 years in many languages. I never had any aspiration for managing anything or anyone but I was freelancing a lot so I have a good, working understanding of every role in the software development process and I embodied each of those for a bit at one point or another. I never built a complete product out of my own volition, but I have a lot of ideas. However deeply understanding how much work would the implementation take, I was always discouraged. ADHD probably was also a factor.

I lead a team once and wasn't particularly fond of it. For me AI is godsend. It's like being a tech lead and product owner but without having to deal with people and multitude of their idiosyncrasies.

I can understand how AI can't work well for a developer whose work is limited to reading tickets in Jira and implementing them in 3-5 business days, because that's exactly whom AI replaces. I also did that during my career and I liked it but I can see that if all you do at work is swing a shovel you might find it hard to incorporate power digger into your daily work process. But if you can step out a bit it feels great. You can still keep you shovel and chisel nice corners or whatever in places where digger did less than stellar job. But the digger just saves so much work.

Try Antigravity from Google. Not for your daily work. Just to make some stupid side projects that come to your mind, you don't care about, or process some data, make a gui for something, literally whatever, it costs nothing. I hope you'll see what I see.
