Coding has been my hobby since junior high school. And I do enjoy doing it.
But really, I enjoy *solving challenging difficult problems*. With a focus on process problems.
And honestly, not all that many people out there are good at that. Honestly, most people are terrible at it.
If we had tools that did a decent job of "coding," enabling me to focus on the more difficult higher level problems, I'd embrace and run with them!
But Generative AI LLMs are NOT it.

@JeffGrigg@mastodon.social @jaredwhite@indieweb.social I've heard people who write a lot say writing helps them think and organize their thoughts. Coding is similar for me in that it's downstream of thinking. Any machine or tool that produces code is a machine or tool that is, by definition, circumventing the thinking process. So even if a good automated coding tool exists, I would still prefer to write the code by hand.
