Yes, same here. I've continued to write software all my life, and resisted nearly any kind of management position (except when design was also involved). It's a creative process, and I've also occasionally focused on a personal project during holiday seasons and spent weeks in various cozy cafeteria corners with coffee (later lunch), a notebook and documents, writing code and staying in the flow for hours. Nothing is better for my brain than that (but of course not meaning _only_ doing that).

One point is that I can't see how, even with the most (not yet existing) AI to "write code" this can allow me to enter and stay in the flow, the mental state where nothing else exists than the creative flow in my mind, and hours fly by without me even noticing. If the AI is like a smart co-worker and my job is to sit there and explain.. one, there will be no flow, and two, there will be no fun. I'm not doing that.
