Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun?

Of course I don't mean they stopped being fun for everyone. My impression is that they've been on one side "corporatized", and on the other became a vehicle for mindless entertainment.I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?)I don't even code for work anymore since I moved to a project/service management role.Basically, the spark I felt some 25 years ago seems to be completely gone.Any suggestion on getting it back?
