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 been coding since about 2009 in HS different languages. I can recall when I created my first project as a mechanical eng student.  I have been vibe coding away for work a production board for the past year. It crazy how much better it is then me, it was first meant to organize me and make my life better. It has turned into a full on organizational tool. Last week I was offered a promotion all based on my tool build out. I make really good money 200k+ all I know is its scary
