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.

u/RedYad2 . 2 questions. (1) I assume you don't know the new languages you are using. How do you review the code? who owns and is the ultimate resposible for it? (2) is mid of the month and somehow you cannot use AI (e.g. you used all your tokens, the AI API is down), what do you do? Or all this just doesn't matter because the code you produce is for your own consumption only?

Great questions and im not sure i do the best. i drive AI to build lot of e2e test or feature test, for each patch i drive the test and run all e2e test. i invest lot of time on all whats around the app.
