> Personally, I get a huge rush of dopamine seeing LLMs build out complex features very quickly

I dont think i've read a sentence on this website i can relate to less.

I watch the LLM build things and it feels completely numb, i may as well be watching paint dry. It means nothing to me.

I wonder if the difference here is age/experience or what you're working on/in.

When I was 20, writing code was interesting, by the time I was 28 it became "solving the problem" and then moved on to "I only really enjoy a good disaster to clean up".

All of my time has been spent solving other peoples problems, so I was never invested in the domain that much.

Trust me, I have many days where I wish I had your relationship to this. I wish it were as boring as watching paint dry. But it triggers that part of my brain that wants more, and I have to be very careful about that.
