@nolan@toot.cafe I honestly wish you're wrong, that we'll be known as "the people that got scared by AI for a bit", but I fear very much that won't be the case. Though I do not share all your beliefs/thoughts regarding how good AI is/will (ever?) be. My deepest fear is the "craft" side. My hobby, my dearest love. My GitHub profile was up there showing my work, without any doubt, but now? Now it might be AI. Who knows? When I wanted to write something and reached an area or a feature that was unconventional, I would dive deep. I would learn everything around and understand it deeply, to its core. Sleep was optional Is that gone? Is that a phase? Am I getting old and tired (even though I've just reached 30)? What will become of my hobby? Of my code? Of my love for the craft...

    @dzervas@infosec.exchange This is exactly where I'm at. I covered this a bit in a recent post (https://nolanlawson.com/2026/01/31/building-a-browser-api-in-one-shot/) where I marveled at how, with one prompt, I could build someone that previously would have been a proud open source project for me, with stars and issues and PRs and all the rest, but now… I just don't care. It's disposable. Anybody can create another one on-demand. I don't even know what to do with my open source code anymore.
