Indeed. But the feeling of well-being is not absolute, but relative to you socio-economic context. The average American is manitudes better off now than 200 years ago, in absolute terms. But are they just as many magnitudes more happy? No. Depending on study, happiness is significantly less.

It's not at all clear that maximizing absolute quality of life is the best ultimate goal.

> I think people don't realize how many corner cases there are in coding

I would even say that one of the central characteristics of coding is corner case management.

Is it actually?

It doesn't give out reliable information and its "creativity" is questionable. Most of the excitement about it has to do with anthropomorphizing a robot that "feels" like an intelligent conversation partner, but it's not. Beyond toys, that is.

Similar to crypto. It isn't actually useful as a currency or to store value. Most of the excitemeny had to do with fake "freedom" dreams of the anarchically-leaning crowd and misunderstandings of what it is and isn't. Beyond toys, that is.

I see lots of parallels actually.
