annies-brain.offprint.appStuck in the middle: Being an engineer & artist in the AI era | Annie Sexton | OffprintI'm an AI skeptic, through and through. But I also voluntarily use AI nearly every day. So naturally, you might be asking: what the heck?

This was a really nice read, it describes many of my thoughts exactly. I'm also kinda stuck in the middle, though mainly in terms of where I am in community spaces (since I'm not fully in the job market yet)

A small addendum I'd have regarding code and art: I think that code becomes art whenever it doesn't only have a job to do. For instance, the way a library API is designed to be convenient to use, or how the type system is leveraged to add compile-time guarantees.

In that case, code isn't solely responsible for doing stuff, but it's meant to be read, interacted with, and it has to be designed to guide and be ergonomic to use.
