HN – Ask HN: Do you find vibe coding / agentic engineering to be fulfilling?

I'm having trouble reaching that golden "builder" zone when I use things like Claude Code. It's cool to be able to conjure software from scratch using these tools, but the output... I don't know, it just doesn't really feel like something I myself did. Maybe it's the lack of effort required, or maybe it's the fact that I know in the back of my head that basically anyone could copy this with the right prompt, that software in general is no longer a special thing.

Has anyone been able to find that "zone of fulfillment" using these tools? Because I'd love to find it again.
