📜 The Wild Man of the Revolution, Samuel Adams.

I wrote an essay about Samuel Adams and why I think he was punk rock. I'm convinced he'd love the band Fugazi and that he'd sing their lyrics while tossing tea in Boston harbor.

There are no AI job losses

The software industry has been hit to fund the data center buildout

That started at the end of 2022 and has resulted in around 1.2% of GDP going to the data center buildout by end of 2025

"AI job losses" are propaganda from those who will lose $$$ if the hype fails

When I see AI folks debating how their tech is going to radically alter the entire world, I try to remember that this is their first bubble.

The other bubbles AI folks saw were from the internet or banking...

They havent been on the other side of a crash yet, so they believe theyre different.

This just isnt true. I have been using AI coding tools for a while and I am significantly more productive with them.

I dont really use AI for anything else.

One of the more humbling things is when you see LLMs get stuck on a type of bug you've also made and also found tricky

It's like awww they grow up so fast

Becoming convinced of the potential for using LLMs to develop one app for multiple platforms in parallel while using each platform's native tooling

No more need for translation layers like React Native. Let the LLMs handle the platform differences as you iterate one consistent step at a time

I built an iOS app with Claude in 5 hours. It works well! I'm listening to music on it right now

That wouldve taken a LOT longer back in the day

Also, I was playing video games the whole time
