Yeah I'm the same, I enjoy thinking of a system of things, doing it, not typing a couple of commands and a bunch of code is generated. It's not the rote process but feeling like I worked for it/doing it. Similar argument is "why buy milk" you can get a cow, milk it yourself, kind of thing. Which I see that, some people don't care what the code looks like, does it work.

Any sufficiently interesting project won't be generated with a couple of commands though: you can still think about systems, about the _right_ way to do something. Then you can document your understanding and hand it to Claude Code to do the fiddly bits which you _could_ do, but they're not as interesting. You're already using a higher level language and leaving implementation details to the compiler: this is another step up.

What about code verbosity and vulnerabilities, I guess make smaller change sets.

Still I do like the process of typing things out, vs being like a checker of check boxes, looks good check, looks good check, kind of deal.

I don't mean typing as in typing a story but feel that I'm actively building it.

What's bad is I'm not 100% into it, I work in this field but I'm also skeptical of it at the same time. I'm not like "hell yeah Agents!" But also I work with them and it's the current hotness for high paying jobs.

Tangent: reality perception is funny, like why hike, you could just watch someone else hike... I think jewelry is worthless (waste of money to buy) but others don't that kind of thing.
