At the very least this sort of thing [building] can be cathartic. I hope it helped you in your situation and that the process itself made it worth it, even if it doesn't become a thing. I hope it does!

Had AI help me write a blog post last week. Most of the process was deleting verbosity. I guess it solves the blank page problem but once you get going the noise is worse than doing it yourself.

Reminds me of my dad's experience with google nest hub a few months ago. He called it the best product google's ever made until an over the air update killed the video call feature he used to talk to his grand kids. Brutal.

I've gone back and forth too. Your point about the missed learning/re-enforcement opportunity is real, and the temptation to gloss over things is too.

That said, I'm starting to think differently about what I consider worth learning deeply. Given that syntax is fully automatable, it is now less of a priority for me. I'm focusing more on architecture, protocols, and product and on trying to build software that actually helps me and folks in my life, especially out side of work.

For example I had 3/4 toy projects last month [mostly vibecoded], a gag birthday website for my brother, a presentation framework I used for my kid's spanish class, etc.

I ended up getting curious about whether there was a way to sidestep traditional dns / cert deployment mechanisms and host vibe coded apps more simply. Ended up building p2claw dot com. Surprisingly webrtc is a good way to serve peer to peer web apps. I've been using it a bunch and it works well. I won a demo day presentation with it and the creator of webrtc replied to one of my tweets :)

I guess tl;dr, AI code let's you think about bigger things and try more unexpected projects.

good take overall, though the last point is forgiven as a subtle dig at lafayette

That didn't take very long, is OpenAI's Assistant API the new standard for LLM apps and RAG?

Huh, yeah it repros. Java is faster 159s vs 203s for the 256 tokens on my intel i9 12 gen
