I'm going to take the contrarian view and say that formalism without jargon, friction and gatekeeping is just natural language.

I've been going through an identity crisis for a year now as I realize more and more that nearly the entirety of what I know comes down to arcane incantations producing transpilation instead of magic. My tech career was just converting specs from clients and employers into machine code, with extra steps.

To move now at the speed of thought and let AI complete whatever tedium was preventing me from getting real work done has been a revelation.

To the point that I fantasize about the day I can leave tech behind and get back to the human experience. No longer drowning in the unending workload that demands ever-increasing productivity for the same pay, but finally able to say enough's enough and provide time/money/resources for myself and eventually the community at large outside of the hierarchical economy.

If we can't automate our livelihoods with AI, then we don't have anything.
