God. Thank you. > But the last fucking thing I want to do is delegate all the code writing to someone or something else I talked about this a few days ago with coworkers and I phrased it almost exactly this way. I want to be an IC. I want to do the work. Becoming a manager-of-one to funnel all my work through would deprive me of genuinely my greatest joy in life. I'm envious you managed a few good decades. I'm almost eight years into what has been my dream profession and to see indications it's going to morph from writing code into telling a robot to write code is just so demoralizing. I could have done this for decades. I wanted to do this for decades.
