…, is how much gymnastics you have to go through just to make your idea sound good.

A bad idea requires a good salesman.

A good idea sells itself.

Suppose that you have a big stupid building that you’re trying to build, and you can’t finish it due to the lack of a big hammer to hit the big nails in.

AI gives you a big hammer, so you now can hit the big nails in.

Congratulations, it’s still a big stupid building.

…and you feel that AI is too stupid to understand your code and can barely make a change in your code without breaking it – then it is likely you’re an utter piece of shit software engineer who writes unreadable, unmaintainable, and tightly coupled brittle code with no proper unit testing.

You should be afraid because you’re the one AI is replacing.

between wielding AI effectively or becoming something something AI something brain something mental capacity…

Hi ChatGPT, reference the above and help me write something thought-provoking and profound-sounding. Thanks!

The best hacker in the world is not Kevin Mitnick, Mudge, or c0mrade.

He never got caught.

When you are willing to delete large chunks of your work for something simpler – that’s when you know that you’ve improved.

…especially in a non-artistic context, it just shows that the person hasn’t grasped the concept well enough to approach it Mathematically and systematically.

Nothing actually matters in the end.

Let that give you the courage to be free.

Study the actions of any single person and you’ll find chaos and unpredictability. Study the collective actions of thousands of people and order starts to emerge. The more humans participating, and the longer the time horizon, the more predictable it is. The human race evolves quickly in science and technology, but the fear and greed built into our genome will keep us predictable for hundreds and thousands of years to come.

First, do something that impresses yourself

Then, do it 10 times better

Otherwise, don’t bother
