Sean Voisen explores the emotional satisfaction found in programming, likening it to the joy experienced by craftsmen. He discusses the progression of interest from simple outcomes to a deeper understanding of the materials and processes involved. This journey enhances satisfaction as one begins to focus on the intricacies and details of their craft. Voisen raises a question about the impact of AI toolsâwhether they enrich or diminish this sense of wonder and connection with the craft, as they might lead to less emphasis on detail and craftsmanship.
When you craft something, you're driven further into the essence of the materials you work. But AI can easily reverse this, where you care less about the result.
For those of us who enjoy programming, there is a deep satisfaction that comes from solving problems through well-written code, a kind of ineffable joy found in the elegant expression of a system.
