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
