> Well for one, programming actually sucks

Speak for yourself. Programming is awesome. I love it so much and I hate that AI is taking a huge steaming dump on it

> So, when I encounter someone who doesn't pin value into building something that performs useful work, only the actual journey of it, regardless of usefulness of said work, I take them as seriously as an old man playing with hobby trains

Growing and building rapidly at all costs is the behavior of a cancer cell, not a human

I love model trains

Your cancer cell analogy is moot unless you paint all AI generated applications to be unusable trash, which is not the case, and I wouldn't describe my own work with it. It's true that standards have dropped to the floor where anyone can "ship" something but doesn't mean it's good. I think I have a better handle on how to steer GenAI versus the average linkedinbro. But the divide between journey and destination is valid, I guess it's something that hasn't been explored until GenAI.
