In this episode of the HTML All The Things Podcast, Matt and Mike tackle a growing sentiment spreading across social media: coding just isn’t fun anymore. What changed? Why are so many developers - new and experienced - feeling burned out or disillusioned in 2025?

We break down what originally made coding exciting, from passion projects and creative problem-solving to the thrill of building something entirely new. Then we look at the forces eroding that joy today: elitism in developer communities, the rise of AI-generated code, factory-style expectations, impossible deadlines, layoffs disguised as “project completion,” and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the profession.

We also discuss whether the “art” of coding has been lost as AI handles more and more of the hands-on work, and what developers can do to rediscover meaning, fun, and sustainability in their craft - even in 2025.
