Some people want to be programmers. We enjoy the process.

These people just want attention. Or have been conned into the idea that with AI everything is easy.

For me, it's been super helpful to write personalized things quickly that I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. Are these things I plan on maintaining for decades? Hell no. But there is no current solution, this isn't a commercial product, and I always have the code in case I want to make adjustments in the future.

It’s more like they want a portfolio to sell at an interview, and since entry-level hires are getting pinched by AI, they’re screwed either way
