The thing is ... I love programming !

The author says that, even after hearing about layoffs tied to AI and automation, he still loves programming enough that AI’s rise does not change his view. He presents coding as an artistic act of building something from nothing, not as a race for speed or productivity.

He also says programming feels like expression, whether it is an automation tool, a machine learning experiment, or a small script that saves time. He compares code to painting and says he would keep creating even if no one saw or used the result.
