> My dopamine comes not from tweaking someone (something) else’s code to make something barely work. My dopamine comes from the fact that I solved some intricate, non-trivial problem.

If that’s your thing that’s perfectly fine and I can understand how LLMs take away this fun challenge from you.

But for many - myself included - it’s not necessarily the process itself that’s rewarding - it’s the outcome. I love creating things that work and are useful. The particular process that was used to create the thing is secondary to me, and if I discover a tool that will enable me to skip some steps to achieve the outcome I will pick it any time of the day over doing things manually.
