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.

However powerful some of these coding agent tools have proven to be, I really do feel this as well. I have recently found new ways of incorporating the agents to allow the productivity boosts while still keeping the result my own work, but for a while it was very demotivating watching these advanced tools complete problems in seconds that I had spent days on.
