Summary
The author discusses how their relationship with programming has changed with the advent of LLMs (Large Language Models). They realized they don't actually enjoy programming itself, but rather the process of making things, and programming was just a means to that end. With LLMs becoming proficient at coding, they've been able to focus more on creation and making things nonstop, viewing this as an exciting new frontier. The article explores the shift from traditional programming to using AI tools for creation, and how this changes the creative process and personal satisfaction in software development.
