When I hear about engineers who are bored with coding, I have to imagine it's because the task of "programming logical work flows" has become rote to them.

Instead of refining their approach, or challenging their current knowledge base for discovery of inefficiencies or baseless assumptions, they'd rather hit an "easy" button.

I understand the desire to NOT do work. I understand the desire to spend quality time and free time with family. And I understand the idea that familiarity breeds contempt.

What I don't understand is the willingness to replace a deterministic language/framework/approach with a probabilistic slop machine.
