- Coding with Cursor or Claude Code is tiring in a different way than normal programming.
- Normal programming has architectural thinking and also tactical programming.
- The tactical programming has a feeling like grinding on sudoku puzzles.
- That is, some people (those with a natural affinity for programming) actively enjoy solving the puzzles.
- But now LLMs can solve the puzzle for you, and it's up to you to just verify its work[ri] and think architecturally.
- It's a different kind of puzzle, one that is more mentally challenging and less directly rewarding.[rj]
