I fully expect to keep writing code for decades, just like I still use a hand plane and enjoy growing plants to eat. I know other methods are more efficient. But I’m here to experience life. I want to do the hard things. I want to be uncertain, confused, to make mistakes, and to learn. AI is a neat tool in limited scopes. Every time I use it though, I feel like I didn’t get the full experience. I’m acutely aware of all the rabbit holes I missed, or the tiny details I’d notice along the way and helpfully remember 10 years later. For everything it adds, it takes at least as much away from where I’m looking. And I like those parts.
