I program daily

At night I don't want to slog away implementing Foo and extending Bar

Unity is already a lot of programming to do any simple game mechanic, and you still have animation, modeling, art, lighting, shaders, sound...

I can't wait for AI to get to a point where I can tell it to "get look and feel from X game, mechanics from Y MOBA, multiplayer server" and get code good enough for an MVP

Games are for playing, code is an unfortunate side effect
