You seem to think you can only be an engineer if you are holding the shovel yourself.
Building software consists of many parts. I love each individually. I was always a bit dissatisfied about how they interact and how they block each other. I love puzzle solving, I love debugging, but I kinda hated building software because it depended on those elements and I'm not fond of context switching.
I can love building software now. And I didn't become a manager because people bs never interested me. LLM doesn't feel like a person. It feels way better.
