I don't get it. What part of the process do you enjoy?

Do you also enjoy hiring a taskrabbit to go hiking for you, taking photos along the way?

I’m just looking to make pizza not smelt the ore for the oven I’m going to cook it in.

  • Why make pizza when you can order it? As far as I can tell, there's not much enjoyment of making being had.

    Enjoying having is fine too, but let's at least be honest about it.

    I enjoy looking at photos people took on hikes, but I don't call it hiking.

    • This is just obtuse. Some folks have fun building their own pizza oven, curing & slicing their own meat, and mixing their own dough. Some folks like to buy mostly pre-made stuff and just play with a few special ingredients. Some folks want to make 5 different pizzas with different flavors. Some folks just order a pizza.

      Some folks walk out of their house and start hiking. Some folks drive somewhere and then start walking. Some folks take photos from the car. Some folks take a roadtrip.

      All of these things ask for different effort & commitment with different experiences & results as the payoff. At least be honest about that.

Seeing the output I want when I describe it, and making changes to get to the vision in my mind. I don't have aphantasia so maybe it's different for those who do, but I can literally see the UI of the app I want to build and of course I can build it by writing code manually too, but I can make it exist much faster with an LLM than without.
