How to keep enjoying programming in a world of LLMs

Developers who enjoy writing code can use an AI assistant to organize the surrounding work while keeping implementation for themselves. A Haskell community post recommends that arrangement: the assistant turns notes into todos, maps the codebase and lists the places to edit, and records research with links to its sources, while the programmer makes the decisions and writes the code.

The author's advice is to plan together with the assistant, then do most of the coding yourself, reserving agents for low-risk work such as cleanup and routine refactoring. It offers a concrete alternative for programmers who want to keep the part of the job they value. The post is a personal working method, not a measured productivity advantage.
