using LLMs in software starves one part of me; feeds another - weird feeling I’m objectively more valuable / productive now - the “builder” in me loves this, it’s like a drug almost on the other hand, it’s kind of empty feeling - and something I cared about a lot doesn’t really matter any more

Not that I was even good at “writing elegant code”, but the act of trying to, fixing it, figuring out the right abstractions, etc - all kind of gone or less relevant / de-emphasized There are still challenges of course - I guess they are mostly at a higher level now, just feels … idk like emptier

Don’t get me wrong - tech debt pay downs, refactors, and new features that were out of reach are now in play, and that’s all cool as hell… just feels strange and I guess I decided today was the day to rant about it to the void
