using LLMs in software starves one part of me; feeds another - weird feeling I’m objectively more valuable / productive now - the “builder” in me loves this, it’s like a drug almost on the other hand, it’s kind of empty feeling - and something I cared about a lot doesn’t really matter any more

Not that I was even good at “writing elegant code”, but the act of trying to, fixing it, figuring out the right abstractions, etc - all kind of gone or less relevant / de-emphasized There are still challenges of course - I guess they are mostly at a higher level now, just feels … idk like emptier

I also think the “run 8 agents all the time” ai br@s are full of it. I still need to basically work on a few things MAX at once to have any confidence in what I’m shipping. Maybe I just can’t let go enough to make the cost of context switching worth paying
