As an engineer, the enjoyment from the process is not less important, or should I say more important, than the enjoyment from shipping a final product.

That's probably the single thing that I found to be biggest difference between those who are very pro AI vs. those more reserved or negative.

A colleague has openly stated that he very much does not care for the process, he just want the product. Where I only care about the product in the sense that I have to, because it's my job and for hobbies I pretty much only care about the process. So an LLM pretty much doesn't make sense, because it help by removing the part I care about. They are good tools for debugging and if you're hopelessly stuck on a detail of some weird and obscure API or configuration.
