i love coding for a living and the idea that i would willingly spend my time just reviewing code that a machine spat out is so insane to me i want to MAKE things with my HANDS

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

its always deeply frustrating to me the idea that code could be considered anything other than art code is so deeply expressive you can learn an enormous amount from someone by looking at the way they code for example i have learned several people i know are psychopaths

i had a conversation with someone on reddit who said their entire job is reviewing code spat out by LLMs and how deeply unsatisfied they are at work now and how they find it hard to feel proud of anything they make anymore what did we do to this beautiful thing
