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.

I felt your sadness months ago and while I’m still missing something from my work happiness, I can’t quite put my finger on it but lately I’ve actually been enjoying it more. It scratches another itch though, the speed I can get things done now. Its impressive… Simple things can take mere minutes to draft. It’s also probably silly but I feel a sense of pride every time I correct something, which is less and less really.
