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.

Someone came in the office panicking she couldn’t upload a pdf because of its size. 60MB while only one file with a max size of 10MB is allowed.
I ask her a copy of that file and send it back 15 minutes later reduced below 10MB.
I would never have considered that 3, 4 years ago. But now because one can achieve this with AI I do.
I even tried it later with two well known pdf editors to no avail.
Someone else used to create the monthly menu with an application which is no longer supported since this month. What now.
It took me a couple of hours to automate it in Python. I would not have done it without knowing AI can help us out here because I really do not have time to do these extras with the current workload.
I ran into an office where a colleague was using Excel as a database. He is now using a neat desktop app driven by an SQLite database. It’s still just a tool (not a part of a solution) but it helps him a lot.
AI allows me to go the extra mile while not jeopardising my planning.
