Fast forward to today, and that joy of coding is decreasing rapidly. Well, I’m a manager these days, so there’s that… But even when I do get technical, I usually just open Cursor and prompt my way out of 90% of it. It’s way more productive, but more passive as well.

I’m not sure I agree with this post.. Yes with AI you can be dangerous again and sling some code. But finding Joy in writing functions? No.. find joy in shipping. ABC always be committing..
