it’s like gambling. you hope it churns out good stuff – and some of the time, it does! lucky!
then you try your luck again. and again with small “fixes”. and again.

i don’t think that applies at all.
if you have no idea what you’re doing, you’re surely going to think all the churned out stuff is good.

I don’t really derive a sense of accomplishment from it, so I don’t get the dopamine hit. It’s more write a simple bash script to do X because I hate working in that syntax, or this library has terrible documentation, tell me how I’m supposed to use it.
You still need to read and understand everything it writes, but it’s easier to validate something is correct sometimes rather than figure out the correct way to do something.
Also the freaking essays it writes as comments burying the useful information in the equivalent of a recipe blog post when you really just need assumptions about input, and side effects.

I definitely don’t get the high of coding anymore, but I do get a high of solving complex issues in architectural designs. I realized the high I chased when coding previously have shifted from coding design, to systems design.

I never got a high from coding, now compiling and seeing your tests have a green [PASS] next to them is a different story.
