How to keep enjoying programming in a world of LLMs

Perhaps I would qualify this by adding "professionally", because in my free time there's no pressure for me to do things in one or other way. If the joy of my personal projects is programming, I won't use LLMs. Period.

It is weird because LLMs have made a lot of things worse, like I can't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for any more by using search engines or my self-hosted gitweb being hammered by LLM bots, but the way I work on projects in my free time hasn't changed at all.
