Lines worth keeping: from books, articles, talks, and the occasional good post.
I know that AI makes me more productive yet at the same time I have very little success in speeding up the thinking part. Example from the last two days is just to come up with ways to map some of the upstream provider functionality to Pi.
It took me no time at all to slop something up that ended up with pulling all that complexity in. On the other hand providing an abstraction that works across all of them is still tricky and I feel like I'm about as fast as before, except for the parts where Pi helps me build POCs and probe APIs.
At least for what we're doing right now the easy parts got even easier and the hard parts didn't move nearly as much. Except you can turn your brain off, and pretend the hard parts are easy parts then you're good to go. But then you have slop.
Thank you for reading this rant.
