AI Sloppy Poppy Wanky Doodle Sucks.

I need to make a supercut (do the kids say supercut still?) of all the times that tech CEOs say we're all going to spend more time on the beach.

But obviously we won't.

I've never gotten more done since Claude Code came along. Personal life and professional life both. It's a renaissance in production for me.

I've also never been more fatigued. Work is more productive, and more mentally exhausting. The entire landscape is different every time I sit down to work, and the wolf is always at the door. Always.

Nothing in this diagram is scientific. Or made by a human.

The landing is going to hurt like hell. Once the skills that are rocking right now become a commodity (if they aren't already), the platforms fix their prices to reality, and inevitable enshitification begins, we're going to look back on this chaos fondly. At least I will.

What a glorious time to be a developer with 35 years of experience and a fairly okay business network... and a virtually worst time to be in any other cohort.
