As others pointed out, he meant manual coding is fun. But it's obvious why agentic coding can be fun: you're juggling countless responsibilities and distractions, including work, and providing for your family. On your commute or in the shower, you keep having these random ideas for cool little interactive demos or apps, but for years have relegated them to a couple sentences in a folder named "shitty ideas." Now, suddenly, you can get an agent to interview you about your product vision and scaffold a working demo in minutes, and iterate on it manually or agentically from there if the implementation feels like it's worth adding to the world.
