The tiem that took experienced programmers to hand over their entire development process to AI was so remarkably fast, that it got me to believe that there are almost no programmers that enjoyed solving problems.

Once, my teacher in school told me that a software engineer needs to have some sadasim in it, because it will need to enjoy the pain of being stuck on a problem. I no longer believe this is true.

Most people are in it for the money, the status, the comfortable conditions, or maybe because this is the blue collar of the 21st century.

The people who are in it for the love of the game, are very little.

You also have to consider that the context and the problems you get are very important.

I do not like prompting coding agent at home, and still code as a hobby, but use coding agent extensively at work for various reasons: a feeling like better than good enough is not rewarded mainly.
