Let's celebrate work that is 100% human-made

There is nothing wrong with walking or riding horses to get to where you need to go but I wouldn't celebrate that. It's a nice hobby bit not efficient. The same will probably happen to most of "human made code". It's fun but doesn't make much sense economically.

We must only celebrate that which is economically efficient.

Writing code by hand costs me zero money. If I were to use AI, I would have to pay thousands of dollars. How does that make more sense economically?

How much time does that investment free up for you to work in other areas with more impact than simply pressing keys and entering code by hand?

I enjoy pressing keys and entering code; I find it to be the most efficient way to communicate with my computer. Why would I not spend my time doing something I enjoy?

I thought you were talking about economic efficiency, not maximizing enjoyment. You can do anything you want with your time if you're not worried about economics, but that sort of contradicts your original statement.
