One of my favorite hobbies used to be to explore GitHub and see what interesting projects were created or updated. I loved to checkout and learn from others.

Everything is weird now.

There is this belief amongst software engineers that humans are always part of the process and that AI prompting is just the new IDE. Yet, every new model release is even more optimized to replace programmers and is pushing us one more step closer to that reality.

Right now (Fall 2026), we focus on empowering agents and LLMs and that's the current challenge facing software. However, once we solve that, the LLM really can kind of take it from there.

I know I'm being dramatic when I say this, but it really is how I'm starting to become jaded from all of this AI tech. It looks more and more like we're becoming a world full of really brilliant humans who are bored because there aren't any intellectual problems left to solve. That is not a utopia. That seems like a dystopian nightmare.
