Tell that to my family with whom I have been spending a lot more time recently having benefited a lot from increased productivity.
If increased productivity means your output is the same but now you produce it quicker, sure! But lets be honest, this is rarely the case and the “free” time is now filled with more work.
Not if your manager doesn't know what you are really capable of and your coworkers keep at about the same pace as you. Manager may get some portion of that productivity, but who says it has to be everything?
TBH, I have found AI addictive, you use it for the first time, and its incredible. You get a nice kick of dopamine. This kick of dopamine, is decreasing with every win you get. What once felt incredible, is just another prompt today. Those things don't excite you any more. Plus, the fact that you no longer exercise your brain at work any more. Plus, the constant feeling of FOMO. It deflates you, faster.
This. This is what people aren't talking about. LLMs are like slot machines for developers, and slot machines are fucking awful for your brain.
If we revisit these posts in a week, a month and then a year my question is: was it useful? Are others building off of this, still? My is answer right now is: you can't answer that question yet and the fact that you are looking for immediate validation showcases you're just building random things. Which is great if that's what you want to do. But is it truly novel or compelling? Given you just move on to the next thi…
My major open source projects get a lot of use. I wouldn't classify them as "just random things". I don't think you're familiar with my work at all.
In my view your open source projects don't align with what you've, mostly, written about. This is in the context of your AI posts. I am familiar with your work and my perspective is still the same. You can think whatever you want, but let's call a spade a spade: I'm not the lone wolf with this perspective. Because, as can be viewed in this thread, others have a similar opinion.

I'm very happy with the quality of my writing on LLMs.
I finally turned a corner last year where I’m generally pleased with how well my older posts hold up rather than wishing I’d done better.
You can be libertarian and a capitalist and still be pro-union. At the end of the day, a Collective Bargaining Agreement is just a private contract between two parties. It can be a way to raise wages without government setting a minimum price for labor. While I'd agree most of its proponents (like myself) also favor other left-wing policies, I'm just saying it doesn't need to be.
Unions are labour cartels for the purpose of extracting above-market wages from the commons, a sort of mafia. They are incompatible with capitalism and libertarianism, especially with libertarianism.
What is rich people collaborating called? You might claim that it is incompatible with capitalism but it’s just a fact of it. It’s easier for a small number of resourceful people (and capital gives them resources) to collaborate than for many people with not much more resources than their house/mortgage. This is what Adam Smith told us anyway.
By this logic, every corporation is a cartel to extract below-market wages from the commons. Both sides are bargaining collectively. And so you'd be saying both are incompatible with libertarianism. There are strands of libertarian thought, I suppose, where government shouldn't be incorporating businesses at all. But it's still legit to say libertarianism is compatible with corporations and with labor unions.
> By this logic, every corporation is a cartel to extract below-market wages from the commons. This statement makes only sense if you don't know what markets are, how they work and what their purpose is.

It is also illegal.
Simply assuming that "every employer does it because theoretically it is easier for then to do so" to help your argument is rather self-serving, considering that labour unions are explicitly legal and exist.
Had a similar experience recently, set up Claude code, wrote plans, CLAUDE.md etc. The plan was to end up with a nice looking hugo/bootstrap/ website. Long story short, it was ugly and didn't really work as I wanted. So I'm learning Hugo myself now... The whole experience was kind of frustrating tbh. When I finally settled in en did some hours of manual work I felt much better because of it. I did benefit from my pla…
It sort of sounds link you expected a one-shot miracle or am I misreading? Try this: start from scratch and use openspec explore - talk to it about what you are going for, tell it to call the built-in frontend-design skill and install a hugo skill first ( https://skills.sh/?q=hugo ), context7 for docs and playwright to check it's work via screenshots etc. Also optionally share any websites with the ascetic / layout y…
Well, I wrote a very extensive Claude.md, and expected more of it indeed. Thanks for the tips I’ll try them.
