I feel like so many devs forget:

1. How utterly dogshit the vast majority of code is.

2. How utterly dogshit some of the most important or famous products and services are under the hood.

So what if LLMs can do something better? Our entire field and industry has been built on 'good enough'. God knows how many programming 'masterpieces' are on Github with 0 stars and 0 users.

I am more excited about programming by hand now more than ever. While I do not know what the future has in store for us in terms of careers, I still think I will always program by hand for fun just because I enjoy the feel of the flow-state/getting lost in something.
