I write code and happen to lift.


I realized something else AI has changed about coding: you don't get stuck anymore. Programming used to be punctuated by episodes of extreme frustration, when a tricky bug ground things to a halt. That doesn't happen anymore.

It’s here! Nerd heaven: M5 Max, 40-core GPU, 128GB unified memory at 614 GB/s 🤤








Programming was deeply satisfying work to me. Work for hours/days before getting the payoff of the code working well on your machine. I’m feeling so much friction now to open the editor and do this kind of task by hand, but also increasingly depressed with the nature of work in an AI assisted dev workflow. Back and forth prompting seems to eat at my soul. Need to find a balance that brings back some of the toil.


Reading Google's MapReduce paper today Will try to implement a basic version in Rust
