shriracha

hah good morning to you too HN (it's my piece and I'm not AI)

My personal satisfaction and sense of craftsmanship is definitely lower now, even if my net output is higher. I think there is a world where I am only using AI to do the menial and repetitive stuff and leaving the more interesting cognitive work for myself, but in reality the lines are all blurred.

I sure hope not.

I appreciate the nuanced take here. LLMs have definitely made certain tasks easier, and therefor let me build ou features I wouldn't have had time to before (i.e. the theme picker example from the blog post)... but I am increasingly finding myself susceptible to the "tumbleweed effect" you describe, where an LLM can start to feel like more of a crutch than a tool.

Great read. Raymond Chen's blog is absolutely legendary.
