The latest developments in digital culture are somehow more frustrating than anything I saw in the previous 26 years. Experience is replaced by prompts. Taste perfected over the years with defaults.

I'm not afraid of competition with AI-driven competitors — I'm afraid of people replacing real beauty with A/B mechanics.

Perhaps this is indeed a good moment to switch to offline.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring example.

I started programming when I was eleven years old and I’m now in my 40s. I have no idea what to do with the rest of my life.

This has been happening for at least a decade now, no help from LLMs needed.
