Probably the saddest comment I've read all day. Crafting software line-by-line is the best part of programming (maybe when dealing with hardware devices you can instead rely on auto-generated code from the register/memory region descriptions).

How long would that be economically viable when a sufficient number of people can generate high-qualify code in 1/10th the time? (Obviously, it will always be possible as a hobby.)

I think eventually the move to "coding with AI" may be like the jump from coding in low level to higher level languages was.
