Laughably narrow-minded projection of your own perspective on others.

We all delegate. Did you knit your own clothes or is that too boring for you?
Enjoying to code/knit is fine but we can no longer expect to get paid well to do it.
Each activity we engage in has different use, value, and subjective enjoyment to different people. Some people love knitting! Personally, I do know how to sew small tears, which is more than most people in the US these days.
Just because I utilize the services of others for some things does not mean that it should be expected I want to utilize the service of others for all things.
This is a preposterous generalization and exactly why I said the OP premise is laughable.
Further, you’ve shifted OP’s point from subjective enjoyment of an activity to getting “paid well” - this is an irrelevant tangent to whether “most” people in general would delegate work if they could.
There is context, that you laughably skipped. You do you.
What context did I skip? It seems like the statement stands on its own.
Obviously my comment was shortened for brevity and it is kind of telling that you couldn't tell and rushed to tear down the straw man that you saw.
Answering your question:
- That there are annoying tasks none of us look forward to doing.
- That sometimes you have knowledge gaps and LLMs serve as a much better search engine.
- That you have a bad day but the task is due tomorrow. Happened to us all.
I am not "laughably projecting on others", no. I am enumerating human traits and work conditions that we all have or had.
OBVIOUSLY I did not mean that I would delegate all my work tomorrow if I could. I actually do love programming.
