I had fun playing around in Claude getting it to write 6502 assembler for the BBC Micro. It is fun to imagine what we could have built on those old machines with these new coding agents! But it is kind of hollow isn't it.
Not for me. I do like having an agent at my disposition that accelerates the way into making those little experiments a reality.
A sloppy reality? Maybe. But It's just tinkering, there's no other use case for this outside of saying "So this can be done, huh? Okay time to go to for a walk".
While it's totally respectable to treat your code as your personal zen garden, I like the idea of having a highway where I can make reality anything that comes from my imagination, and also having time for family, friends, work and exercising out of sedentarism.
Thats your life and your opinion which you are fully entitled to, but dont make the mistake of thinking your life and opinion is better than anyone elses. It suits you, thats whats important.
