It’s true that AI is leading to increased software output—whenever I have a need for specific software I find like 3 separate vibe-coded abandoned code repositories with all files from like 4 months ago and it’s very shiny and doesn’t work at all.

In my mind, this is the age of personal software: I get what *I* need without searching for a (frequently questionable) match on the Net. I know that there are downsides of having a lot of one-off programs but sometimes it is just easier.

On the one hand, it's super handy. I had an LLM help me program an ESP32 to emulate a keyboard as an HID device so I could make Home Assistant toggle my KVM without... rolling across the room to do it myself like a peasant. But I wouldn't, like, release it... That'd be insane!

In my work and, I admit I use AI, one of my daily fights is to reduce the amount of redundant, iterative, etc code produced. It helps in 55% and holds up in 45%. Thats my margin: 10%.
