Tragedy of commons. If you don't do it, somone else will.

> I am starting to think that expressing thoughts in words clearly is probably the most important and general skill of the future.

I don't know if even that matters much in future. Somone will build a layer that makes it simple enough for everyone to use.

If that is the case, 90% software was never lucrative

I did graphic and motion design for 20+ years and been doing full stack dev for the last 6. It's very difficult to do both and excel at - especially in the frontend space where things move incredibly fast. As you try to excel at one, you'll feel left behind in the other. Very stressful.

My prediction for every creator tool will be 30% deterministic software and the rest 70 is a long system prompt. This is the future.

Just curious, what $ would you have considered worth it for the output you actually got?

The bars have solid fill for Mythos and cross shaded for Opus 4.6. Makes the difference feel more than it actually is.

Okay. Did you think about the code even if you didn't type it out?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A lot of it was “debug this issue and fix it” or “write this small tool to do X”

Why did you decide to devote your life to AI?

I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated.
