For me it's both - I mourn the loss of my craft ( and my identity ) but I'm also enjoying the "magic". Last night I was thinking about this "xswarm" screen saver I had in 1992 on my DEC Ultrix workstation. I googled for the C source code and found it. I asked Claude to convert it to Java, which it did in a few seconds. I compiled and ran it, and there it was again, like magic

In case anyone else was curious about the screensaver mentioned, I couldn't find any screenshots so just got Claude to cook up an HTML port: https://refset.github.io/xgrav-canvas-js/xgrav.html https://refset.github.io/xgrav-canvas-js/xgrav.html
