Have you mastered AI?
or had AI mastered you already?
"Why code or write when LLMs can do them for you?" is like asking:
"Why walk when there are cars and wheelchairs?"
Short answer:
I like to use my brain and legs.
And I don't want them to shrink.
That's why I am building something from scratch today.
I'm going to read the docs.
I'm going to write the code.
And I'm going to ask LLMs when I get stuck.
Because I don't have a problem with using tools.
I have a problem with replacing my thinking with them.
Think about:
When AI companies start putting a $2000/month paywall behind your favorite tool, do you have a choice to not pay? (Yes, I know you can self-host inferior versions)
If not, have you really mastered AI, or have AI mastered you?
