Why do you feel good about programming despite not writing in machine code?

False equivalence. x86 assembly is a programming language, C is a programming language, Javascript is a programming language. English is NOT a programming language.

If it was, you wouldn't need "AI" to convert English into a real programming language before that, in turn, can be converted to machine code.

My boss can make people do countless things in the proper order, with just a few words. Sounds like a programming language to me.

I enjoyed that too when I was a youngster but there are good reasons why it is impractical for day to day work.
