Do you find vibe coding / agentic engineering to be fulfilling?
I'm having trouble reaching that golden "builder" zone when I use things like Claude Code. It's cool to be able to conjure software from scratch using these tools, but the output... I don't know, it just doesn't really feel like something I myself did. Maybe it's the lack of effort required, or maybe it's the fact that I know in the back of my head that basically anyone could copy this with the right prompt, that software in general is no longer a special thing.
Has anyone been able to find that "zone of fulfillment" using these tools? Because I'd love to find it again.
can't it shift from just building a software to create a new "skill"? for non dev people its just easier to see it in this way.. fullfilling may come with the possibility to create some idea you can't bring to life before vibes. i'm vibe coding and i would be fullfilled if i could achieve reliability on an llm!!
If you want fulfillment, make your own side projects. Most companies will start requiring some form of LLM for development, and they don't really care how you get to the end goal.
Think of this as yet another abstraction layer. People didn't give up on building web applications just because Python with Django can do it much faster than C. Be more ambitious with your projects!
