I wish it was already the case. Tesla FSD is already better than almost every human driver out there.

I agree with you about using blockchains for various things. With Bitcoin specifically, the problem you are trying to solve for is scarcity and a sound currency. It’s a unique asset not just a methodology or tech (blockchain) I’m sure you understand the problem with centralization and fiat currencies. But again, can’t argue with your other points.

I’ve coded for 30 years. But I’ve always been motivated by outcome, imagination, intuition, & speculation. Coding was always a means to an end not the end itself. This is the funnest I’ve ever had creating software.

You can feel free to cope by inventing imaginary bad guys. But the reality is that there are a wide variety of reasons people coded by hand. And people that are different than you aren’t somehow inferior or bad.

Sorry the world changed. But do you really want to be a curmudgeon?

That's one way to twist it. What I'm intending to say is that you offload tedious bullshit to AI agents so you can focus on stuff you enjoy and live your life. And for people that like doing things like changing xcode settings (more than time with their kids) there is nobody stopping them from doing that.

It's not about brain. Time is limited. If you chase all these little things you die - death by a thousand cuts.

> infantile shit

I think it’s valid to not trust the US with your data. But if the reason is some TDS “Orange Man Bad”, it’s you that’s acting infantile.

Do you go through all this trouble out of principle or necessity?

Multiple rounds of specialized sub agent peer reviews that are prompted to counter this works really well. Once you have the right pipeline in place you should not be needing to do the simplifying yourself very often.

Claude -> specialized sub agents peer review -> specialized sub agents peer review -> repeat as many times as needed

It’s not worth your time until you’ve run through such a pipeline.

So stay inside like prison until I can be outside and present? No thank you. I enjoy mindful meditative walks as well. But I would never force myself to only take such walks. Now that I can be outside and work I will do so precisely for my mental health. Being stationary at a desk all day when you don’t have to be is much more mental illness-like in my opinion.

That’s not true. I would not treat a walk where I am working with Claude Code as a break. It’s just as much work as desk work is. You still owe yourself a proper break.

You can also just talk it out loud to Claude while you’re on a walk getting some sunshine. Done.

> You used to have to either care enough to do the design yourself or find someone who cared and specialized in that to do it for you.

Or worse, you gave up because you did not have the time to learn the skill or the money to hire somebody. In this case, your dream just died.

> does not replace Figma

Not entirely but I would use this and not Figma. I am passionate about system design not visual design so I don’t want to waste time in figma.

What if you’re a musician and use design as part of your marketing? Why should a musician deep dive design when they really only care about music?
