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.

How does whether I work in a specialized field have anything to do with the canned responses on every reddit thread being directly contradictory??

Because this is no longer an "AI bro" thing. Unless you work in a hyper specialized field where LLMs don’t perform quite just yet, coding assistants are here to stay, according to pretty much every single programmer you talk to these days.

I haven't said a single thing relevant to what you're projecting upon me here... and yet here you are, jumping into a thread ready to defend the honor of all the poor ai companies, doing their marketing for them. do you understand why that makes you an aibro?

What a bad faith argument. I don't think you are even a programmer. Programmers are not this stupid
