I used to do this and called it "Coding with AI the Hard Way" in a nod to Zed Shaw: https://kamens.com/blog/code-with-ai-the-hard-way I no longer do and blogged my updates for fear of being seen as a luddite:

You, Thomas, Watsi, and crew have been an inspiration for a long time. I loved getting to know you all back in the day, and I've loved being a small donor since the early days. Deep respect for what you built.

Same question to you: did you read his blog and arguments in detail?

Further, he didn't just make multiple contrarian predictions in the hope he'd be credited -- he had a way of making predictions in ways that could be interpreted multiple ways later. I both (A) found this infuriating and (B) found

I agree with you trymas! I myself spent time cataloguing a number of his predictions that did not come true. I am still asking a specific question: for the prediction of Trump's rise, did the critics downvoting me read his actual writi

The minimum recognition Scott Adams deserves should be having updated the world model of those who read his blog. It is hard to remember how thoroughly Trump's presidential run was seen as a joke in 2015. I bet most people can't r

I love this TODO approach not just for what it does for future readers as Sophie notes but also for the mental release it gives me when thinking about edge cases that I don't want to commit to fixing. PS Hi Sophie!

Personally, I follow the simple rule: "I type every single character myself. The AI/agent/etc offers inspiration." It's an effective balance between embracing what the tech can do (I'm dialing up my usage) and
