I've never touched an LLM and won't use AI. Everything I ever have and will make is hand crafted.
I use Cursor and still think of my work as hand crafted, the project is exactly what I wanted, I just didn’t have to press every single key
I wish I had this energy again. I've got a list of side projects to get on with. I've made little progress in the last year, and suspect its burn out to blame - I'm just constantly exhausted. I think if you have the energy, this is awesome fun. It might even get to the point where one of them makes some decent income. But if you don't, like me, just realise that there is a reason for that, and it's OK. You need rest…
> I wish I had this energy again. I used to think my youthful energy was gone forever. Then about 3 months ago I had an idea for a project I truly believed in. I was able to write code for 16 hours straight, day after day, for most of the last 3 months. And it's not exhausting, it's rejuvenating . I feel like a young man again, despite my gray hairs! (I was planning on releasing it today actually, but this weekend I…

I don't even use editor suggestions for the next word I should write. For me, something I didn't think of myself is not mine.
Like if I overhear a conversation, watch a documentary, and read a billboard, and ideas from each recombine in my head to create some interpolated idea, I'm not even sure how much I get credit for that, I suppose
My role seems just to tend to the garden of my mind, so new things might grow there that I can share. AI is just another plant, or maybe it's another gardener who brings me clippings or seeds.
I dunno, just the idea of me doing almost anything "myself" feels a bit challenging to my worldview. I see no particularly honour in thinking of something in isolation (in fact, being immersed in other ideas/ppl/inspiration seems the key ingredient)... except insofar as stealing ideas or failing to attribute seems dishonest
(I'm not saying my worldview is the right one btw)
EDIT: recently heard about the Schwartz theory of basic human values, and guessing you score much higher than me on "self-direction" :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_basic_human_values

Heh thanks for sharing. my boundary between self and other feels much more blurry :) Like if I overhear a conversation, watch a documentary, and read a billboard, and ideas from each recombine in my head to create some interpolated idea, I'm not even sure how much I get credit for that, I suppose My role seems just to tend to the garden of my mind, so new things might grow there that I can share.

Careful not to fall into the trap of never releasing - it can always be better.
