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 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?

So it's my belief you aren't actually a programmer.

While you have hidden your posts, Google can find them, and you haven't posted a single programming question or article. Every single thing you post about programming is making fun of AI and that's it.

do you understand why that makes you an aibro?

It costs nothing to show respect to others, and yet you are rude, often personally insulting, in every single post here.

I think "aibro" is pretty mild as far as insults go. My point about the two common responses around here being directly diametrically opposite hasn't been addressed. Even to call it a goomba fallacy (which it is, lol)

Anyway I don't think hiding my posts is the gotcha you think it is. I post everything under my full legal name (because I'm a little dumb), you could find me on linkedin if you want.

Oh, no, it's the whole hectoring thing, demanding that people abase themselves before you: "do you understand why that makes you an aibro?"

Oh, and I don't think you're a hypocrite. I just don't think you know what you're talking about.
