Yes but my enjoyment has changed a bit Before I got the achievement feeling from fixing coding challenges AND building cool things that would get users and make money But now I get the achievement of just building cool things that get users and make money And because of AI that last part has become much more competitive because anyone can spin up an app or site nowadays, so that challenge is fun for me

Also I'm starting to see big tech companies start to operate like me now

They're firing HR, middle management, merging roles

Everyone becomes a builder with AI

I think because with AI people like me have access to teams of 10,000 employees but in the form of AI

So the difference between a solo builder with AI and a big tech company with 10,000 employees is smaller than ever!
