AI is slowly munching away my passion
My passion has always been programming – one way or another, it always has been and all my life choices led me back to it. I love building stuff, especially on computers. It seems though, that LLMs and the current craze around them is slowly affecting it and most importantly the human community around it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m astonished by the capabilities of the current (Feb 2026) models. I use it quite a bit for all sorts of stuff – from agentic coding to data classification to small artsy stuff that I’d never pay to get done. I’m gonna leave art outside of the current post since humanity has found yet another way to fuck artists and my lil engineering mind can’t comprehend that. The programming (open source or not) community has made a pretty sharp turn “towards AI”…
