i'm not "working with code" anymore. i'm thinking in systems, and writing in natural language. i've only been programming for 25 years. any code i write is going to be vastly inferior to a frontier model.

i also have this sense that the generating code is becoming an inseparable feature of daily life. it's so obvious it's not even worth mentioning. "artist working with code" is like saying "artist working with physical matter".

Your takes often capture my thoughts 100% accurately (though much more concisely and precisely than when I try to put them into words); I 100% agree and had similar thoughts with 5.5 + Fable. I "brainstorm", "direct", and "architect", and a model does coding way better and faster than I ever could.

Also, coding, hacking, and customizing are becoming the fastest way to get things done, and we have entered an era of 100% personalized software, everywhere. Google for a tool and configure it? Why, when I can create new UX + modify a project's source code to get *exactly* what I need in less time?

Literally just today (having a day off), I vibe-hacked WLED firmware for new Audio Reactive features (custom dynamic palettes with an HTML editor, live preview in browser and stuff), added a dynamic Philips Hue room light colors -> WLED custom palette sync, and hacked 2 old devices with RF and IR.
