I love the act of writing code, it clicks well with me. I love the feeling of my brain solving problems, figuring out how something works, and then finally understanding it. I love debugging. I love having built something that people love, solely wrought by my own fingers.

I got into programming because the act of spinning a web of code just feels like what I'm designed to do.

Vibe coding definitely has some of that, but it feels so detached from any understanding of the computer itself. I feel like I'm bossing someone around — and I would never want to be a non-coding manager. I'm curious, how/why do you feel so different?

(Obviously the financial side is stressful too, but I feel like I'm in a good spot to figure that out either way.)
