i realized this week that i don’t care about writing the code all that much. i care about understanding abstractions.

code is still just an abstraction so sometimes i need to manually write it out understand it

use ai to boost agency, not reduce

more than ever you can choose what to spend time and effort on, don't give that up

re: cognitive atrophy from ai.

i'd say don't use it for exploration. do the exploration and mental model building yourself and use it for verification/ checking your mental model

use it to do things you know how to do

remember to pet your dog. or touch grass. go for a walk/run/hike.

software engineer and career isn't the only thing in life (even when it feels like that's your world). the world is much bigger
