When I learned coding it took a lot of effort just to get something to work at all, it took many years until I could take an idea and write code that works right away after the spelling errors have been fixed. Now I have colleges that have no idea what they're doing but AI gives them code that works... Meanwhile the coding standards, languages and frameworks changes faster then I have time to keep up. I always liked code that was simple, easy to understand, and easy to change, remove and rewrite. Writing and working with such code is very satisfying. But noone cares about code anyway. It's more of an brutalist abstract artform that very few people appreciate.
