Not hating; just geniunely curious. Why did you get into this career if writing code is/was the " most boring use of my time in the entire world"?

I like writing code, but seeing my ideas visualized after an hour is more fun than writing code.

And even if AI is disappearing tomorrow and not progressing any further, i see already myself living on a farm with cheap energy (pre invest into solar and batterie) and having my small AI datacenter in basement and running multiply fable level agents 24/7 for different things.

Genie is out of the bottle.

> If AI went away tomorrow I would find a new line of work because artisanally handcrafting code is the most boring use of my time in the entire world.

I too, since I was a child, aspired to be a babysitter.
