The people who love writing code were the ones who created the languages and frameworks that make it even possible for an LLM to cobble something together for you.

There is tons of satsifaction in actually creating nuts and bolts frameworks. After you encounter difficulties in creating a real world product you see the need for tools to solve those problems, so crafting those tools and then using them does feel like winning and shipping and solving real problems.
