      How… unrelatable.

      Don’t get me wrong, I find satisfaction in what I do. At a certain point, though, given the resources I’d like to work on my own projects.

      Maybe that is what these guys dream about with AI so I can’t knock them. Just seems too involved.

        Part of it is what you said, “work on my own projects”. That’s what I feel I’m doing. While I don’t legally “own” the software product I’m building (usually), there is still a strong sense of ownership I feel when I’m building software. I want it to be perfect, something I am proud of. A masterpiece. And I spend embarrassingly large amounts of time perfecting and researching.
