The best analogy I've found for coding with AI: it's a 3D printer for software craftsmen.
Yesterday I worked through four different database frameworks. Not reading about them—implementing them. Feeling the tradeoffs between security, sovereignty, and scale in working code. When I decided one wasn't right, the AI rewrote the entire data layer in minutes. Evaluate. Adjust. Repeat.
That kind of iteration used to take weeks. The mythical 10X engineer everyone chases? They were still bottlenecked by typing and context switching. This is a category shift.
The craft isn't gone. It's distilled. System design, debugging intuition, knowing which tradeoffs actually matter—that's still you. What's disappeared is the tedium of translating clear intent into syntax.
The keyboard was never the instrument. Your mental model was. Now you can finally work at the speed of thought.

This is a great idea. Let's talk. ✊
I just built a custom relay so I would have my own foundation for an idea similar to this.

This guy is amazing at explaining #bitcoin without ever saying the word. Bitcoiners need to hear what he says about he bronze age collapse.

What is the best web based viewer for kind 30023?

I like the way @Habla News shows profile pic in post for nostr:npub. But 30023 is markdown so should I use markdown links instead?

Today working with cursor felt like I was sanding something down to a finished product. So many things we used to look over at previous jobs cause no one wanted to do them. Ai loves grunt work.

Can't wait for the future where we're saying things like "it used to take me 10 minutes to download a model. We only had 1 GB Internet."
Coincidence?
