Well yeah! This is objectively a great process for getting a lot of work done.

I guess I'm an outlier then because I actually like programming, and I've never wanted to be a manager, even a manager of an LLM. At least half the fun of making software is doing the programming

  • You aren't an outlier. Most of us got into coding because we enjoyed coding, not writing documentation that talks about coding.

    • I enjoyed coding because of what it enabled me to _do_.

      I can now do more with AI tooling so I enjoy that more.

      I know lots of you enjoy coding for its own sake, more power to you. But it's no surprise to me that many (most?) view it as a means to an end.

    • It feels like I am these days, with the amount of posts on here about how LLM-powered programming is the future and everyone should be doing it and it will make us all 10x developers
