Does professional coding make you forget the "magic" feeling?


When I first started coding, everything felt like actual magic. Scraping video tutorials behind paywalls, connecting systems, automating tedious tasks. I genuinely felt like a wizard bending computers to my will.

Now that I code for my day job, that sense of wonder has largely faded. It has become a daily activity and lost that magic feeling

For those who still feel that magic: how do you experience it? What kinds of projects or moments bring that feeling back?

99% is plumbing, plumbing is underrated. But the other 1% is magic and makes me happy.
