I have lost all enthusiasm for reading about new software projects, especially dealing with vintage computing. What would have sounded amazing a year or two ago and made me want to engage with the author, I now just assume was something AI spit out and feels hollow and boring so I skim past it.

And writing software feels like being Marge in that go-kart race. Work slow and steady for a year writing something neat that had never been brought to a platform before, but someone can hear about it and use Claude to whiz by you in a week and make something with 10 times the functionality.

Apparently someone already wrote a whole production Swift wrapper for the AppleCVA face tracking framework I discovered. I'm pretty sure it was vibe coded. This sucks. I'm doing this both to help people and to teach myself Switch and macOS programming. What's the point now?
