Writing code is the reward for doing the thinking. If the LLM does it then software engineering is no fun.
It’s like painting - once you’ve finally finished the prep, which is 90% of the effort, actually getting to paint is the reward

What a great way to frame it, I love this! I typically spend something like 60-80% of time available for a given task thinking through approaches and trade-offs, etc. Usually there comes a point when the way forward becomes clear, even obvious.
After that? Bliss. I’m assembling a LEGO set I designed, composed of pieces I picked, and luxuriating in how it all feels, when put together.
