That’s exactly it! There is no feeling of accomplishment whatsoever, because we aren’t really accomplishing anything. The LLM is doing all the work. Out pops an application, but it might as well have been written by someone else, because it was, but also it wasn’t!

It’s great that an application now exists where there wasn’t one before, but it’s hollow because I didn’t make it. Nobody made it! It just exists now with nothing actually accomplished by anyone. It’s a very spooky way to conjure things up.

If that's how you feel, maybe the applications you're making are too simple to need any of your unique contribution.

The answer could be to just push further, and try solving harder problems.
