That is a good point, in the same way the lure of $100k+ salaries inevitably attracted the masses, AI means "everyone can code!" I do share your lament. "Being productive" is a capitalist construct. There's a place for it. But I got into coding by messing with CSS and when the text turned red on my screen by something I did… WOW!!! I'll never forget that feeling. I make it a point to dabble in side projects on my own terms. Want to always keep that fire lit.

> AI means "everyone can code!" In the same way as "Dreamweaver" (web IDE) means "everyone can make a webpage" maybe? Doesn't mean they can do it well at all. I made a ton of money in my early days as a web designer gettin' paid to fix up nasty messes of local business websites (cleaning up Dreamweaver tag-soup and such) in my area during those early years when half of everyone with a business "hired" their little teenage cousin "under the table" to build them a website for their business and ended up horribly regretting it.
