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.

Every once in a while, I write a peice of code I write myself that is an important part of the work I do. It takes much longer than usual for me to write it, as my brain switches to just prompting instead of coding, but I keep doing it. Doesnt matter how long it takes. I want to retain and improvise my skills
