It is a terrible mistake that some people have come to believe that code is only as useful as its final executable result, and not the art of expressing logic and meaning within a computer system purely on its own merits.
One point is that I can't see how, even with the most (not yet existing) AI to "write code" this can allow me to enter and stay in the flow, the mental state where nothing else exists than the creative flow in my mind, and hours fly by without me even noticing. If the AI is like a smart co-worker and my job is to sit there and explain.. one, there will be no flow, and two, there will be no fun. I'm not doing that.
I love love love coding. When I'm done with work, and I have time between family stuff, I code to relax!
If I have a fun project, I could easily code from when I wake until I go to sleep, and have before having a kid.
It's a pure joy second only to family
Infact it feels like one of the few books to change my perspective on life.
