"woodwork is just procrastination that gets in the way of implementing your ideas."

We can find plenty of others, but my main point is that industrializing a process doesn't make it "procrastinating". There are plenty of jobs that are done by machines but are still practiced by humans for multiple reasons. If we think of coding as a means to create, then we have plenty of examples of good reasons to have both the industrialized process and the 'handmade' one.

Where does this evolution really lead?

> Where does this evolution really lead?

probably that nothing really matters, so I guess do whatever makes you happy. If programming makes you happy then you should do it.

I find programming Advent of Code fun so I do it, but I don't find writing yet another web interface fun, so I have Claude do it.
