I hope we can save “jobs aren’t supposed to be fun” for stuff like undertaker and grief counselor.

My feeling is making things should be mentally stimulating, and as many tedious parts that can be automated should be, so we can spend precious human thought on thinking instead of recitation.

I don’t know what you mean by the last part. Do you mean programmers depend on busy work to eat or the users depend on the human touch on the boring details?

For me there is nothing less fun than using AI to generate code

Then I have to do the boring bullshit work of reviewing it and making sure it's correct? Fuck that

Writing code is way more fun than reviewing other people's code
