Hey, traditional hand coder fellow ... the times have past and the future is already a present. I never have been this productive before, and it's been ~20 years that I spent coding. System level programming. Few years back I would have said the bottleneck is not in spelling out the code so we wouldn't see that much AI impact but boy I was wrong. Writing code has never been this cheap, both in terms of time resources and $$$. Now I can iterate over the ideas I didn't have the capacity before, both intellectual and time-wise.

Enjoying free time that otherwise I wouldn't have. Building stuff that otherwise I wouldn't have time or resources for.
