I used to do this and called it "Coding with AI the Hard Way" in a nod to Zed Shaw: https://kamens.com/blog/code-with-ai-the-hard-way I no longer do and blogged my updates for fear of being seen as a luddite:

You, Thomas, Watsi, and crew have been an inspiration for a long time. I loved getting to know you all back in the day, and I've loved being a small donor since the early days. Deep respect for what you built.

I agree with you trymas! I myself spent time cataloguing a number of his predictions that did not come true. I am still asking a specific question: for the prediction of Trump's rise, did the critics downvoting me read his actual writi

The minimum recognition Scott Adams deserves should be having updated the world model of those who read his blog. It is hard to remember how thoroughly Trump's presidential run was seen as a joke in 2015. I bet most people can't r

Personally, I follow the simple rule: "I type every single character myself. The AI/agent/etc offers inspiration." It's an effective balance between embracing what the tech can do (I'm dialing up my usage) and
