I'm 50 years old, and I don't follow the logic here? Using Claude Code or any AI agent for coding is 100% opt-in. How can something that is 100% opt in kill your passion? Just continue not using it. That's a pretty simple solution.

#203I'm 42 years old and it has re-ignited mine. I've spent my career troubleshooting and being a generalist, not really interested in writing code outside of for systems and networking usage. It's boring to type out (lots of fun to plan though!) and outdated as soon as it is written. I've made and continue to make things that I've been thinking about for a while, but the juice was never worth the squeeze. Bluetooth trou…
Same here!! 39, working through a backlog of side projects that never got built before. The velocity is insanely fun compared to even two years ago.
Best part has been building stuff with my kids. They come up with game ideas, we prototype them together, and they actually ship. Watching them go from "what if it did this" to a working thing they can show their friends has been incredibly enjoyable (instead of them asking why I'm behind my computer again)
I always liked coding but honestly liked the end result more.

#204I’ve made a bunch of tools to help me get around file system limitations on modern Macs (APFS) and treating my entire legacy file collection as CMS challenge and have cranked out more binaries in 3 months than in the 10 years before the arrival of these tools. If you know how to use these tools and how to think like an architect and not a hobbyist Claude is truly in the technological lead. I am a bit, but not much, y…
Are your tools open source? They sound kinda cool.
I intend to in the near future and you can use my whole setup. The PoC is on Github under the same username.

It has the apfs-monitor and basic media browser that’s roughly a cross between pre ElCap iPhoto and pre OSX iView multimedia and you can edit tags and comments and dive into tag groups by clicking tags. Extended attributes and file metadata are loaded into a SQLite DB at startup and all that fetching never happens again.
Since the released version I’ve added ~100 features.
Repo is trunk based and atypical for github. There are brew based dependencies.
I’ll formalize more later.
