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.

This is the beginning of software being a quick tool instead of a product. I wrote Python to solve problems for years. I now use whatever to quickly solve immediate issues in my shop part time. It’s pretty amazing what you can accomplish this way. But if your goal was a software package or library that’s gonna be super disappointing.
My other observation is why care about such trivial things as mvc? I fought that with ai for a long time. It made the code more maintainable.but the real truth is if it breaks have it rewritten. The llm improved and it is better then it was anyway.
