"if I wanted to become a manager, I'd do it already" is a pretty common take when talk with other engineers for many, including me initially, agents kinda sucked the joy out of programming i figured out how to rephrase it in my head so it doesn't feel so lame

"vibecoding" feels like it's for idea-guys. people who wanted to build software, but didn't have the attention span for it but when you realize the clanker can snitch on you to the cops, introduce vulns or delete your prod db... it starts being fun, right?

we’ve been deciphering and crafting spells, learning math and physics, diving deep into insurmountable complexity I hope we can find joy in wielding multiple genies and demons, forcing them to do our bidding, defending from their attempts to snitch on us or play tricks on us

I hope this framing can help you find some joy in it too
