> When I was a junior developer I did see programming as an art but I really don’t see it anymore. What is important is the output. And does the output is in accordance to its design and functions as intended.

This is so often missed across most anything.

Rarely do people appreciate or want to fund something that doesn't provide the desired outcome. The lucky few on this planet are those who can find joy in creating something others want to pay for.

Personally, I've spent most of my 20s and 30s having this tremendous imposter syndrome when it comes to actual programming, but through working in sales operations, I have learned a good bit about scalable architecture. So tools like claude code have unlocked many fun challenges for me. Even if. I spend a lot of time cleaning up the sprawl they create.
