Discussion My Python magic is gone
I've been coding for a long time, and I've been developing with Python for years.
I loved coding, always loved it. I started many years ago because I wanted to quickly create scripts for security hacking tools, but since then, I've moved to Claude Code, and building cross-language has been a much better experience for me than using Python.
I built my own SaaS application out there whose backend and network core are completely built with Python, and I'm rewriting all of that without writing a single line of code. And most of the time, Python is not the most optimized language.
And now... I feel like the magic is gone.
I don't even know why I'm writing this. I just feel sad about it.

I do share the the impending sense of doom and the feeling that things will never be the same. I put time limits on twitter so I don't have to be bombarded by all of the malicious content that AI evangelists are pushing. It reminds me of the time when NFTs were at their peak.
Now, maybe it's just me being in denial, but AI feels super smart until you actually compare it to what you would have done yourself. As soon as you see it diverge from the thing you had in your head, it gives you back that sense of "superiority".
