Sometimes I wonder if my insistence of handcrafting my code is outdated. 🤔 I love writing code, feeling the familiarity of a project I know inside-out.

Yet all around me, people seem to be jumping on tools that abstract away the code, be it “AI” or “no code”. I never had fun working with a WYSIWYG editor to build a website, it was always more pain than worth.

But maybe that’s me? Am I being inefficient?

kei,

@amxmln If you enjoy the process and that is what brings you fun, turning to AI or no-code definitely takes the rewarding part away.

If it is the result which brings satisfaction whereas the process causes strain, then the penchant would be turning to shortcuts.

Similar to cheat codes in gameplay and gardening from seeds vs buying plants from shops.

@amxmln Same. For me, writing the code is the fun part. Let AI wrangle my calendar or todo list or whatever, but I actually like the code part. Why would I want to give that up?

@evanfreeze it’s all in the name of “efficiency”. I’m struggling to make people see the worth of well written, custom code. With design, they’re able to see and sort of grasp the quality and care that gets put into it, with code not so much. Instead they ask or demand inferior (at least in my book) tools to be used. So they can get a result faster and cheaper. 😅
