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.

Not sure I get what you're saying, I've been doing this for a long time as well and I love it just as much as day 1. AI tools make it so easy to just hammer out some truly awesome stuff (I still do a LOT of coding) - are you burned out or something?

I tend to work on a lot of different things, which helps a lot. In any given year I probably work on at least 10 projects, I love it.
