Just write

Discipline for llamaword is going to be needed, because having something to write about every day isn’t always going to happen, so there could be times where the post is just a one-liner, but that’s ok.

So, to start as i mean to go on, just hop on the computer and write something daily without being too precious about what i’m putting down, and not overthinking how it sounds or what the grammar looks like. Here we go.

So yeah, AI has got everyone in an existential crisis mode now, well, it has for developers at least, and anyone who has taken the time to have a play around with the likes of Claude or Codex. These agents that you setup on your computer to work directly with your computers file system are what have caused me my second ‘wow’ moment with AI. First, it was a year or so ago, when i first started messing with chatgpt, i started getting snippets of code produced that worked after a few tweaks, and debugging bits of code became so much easier with a copy-and-paste into chatgpt with the prompt ‘fix my bug’. But it still wasn’t at the point where i thought, holy shit this is gonna replace me, but now, that’s all changed.

Agents on your computer have levelled up the use of what AI can do by a massive factor. No more copy and pasting into a chat window, you can just open a terminal on your computer and start working directly with projects/files/folders, just by talking to your agent through a terminal. All those ideas you had about apps you would build if you only had the time, can now be Clauded into existence with a few prompts in the terminal, magically built and packaged up ready to deploy, there are simply no more excuses not to bring those ideas to life.

The sad part of all of this (once the initial excitement of building all your ideas has worn off) is that you realise your ideas weren’t actually that good, and now you’re left with a raft of useless repos on your github that will most likely never be contributed to ever again. That billion dollar idea you had is something even you wouldn’t use yourself now its actually built and available to use! And if, per chance, you do build something worth using, don’t forget that there are now millions of other developers out there (most likely much better than you) all building the same apps with AI :)

Don’t be discouraged though, in fact i urge you to keep playing with your favourite agent, keep building those note taking apps, because whilst it might not feel like it, i can promise you there are still people out there who don’t even know what an AI chat bot is, or they do but just don’t see the point in using one. These people have no interest in learning how to prompt, even if they don’t want to build an app, or can’t think of a use case for having an agent on their home computer; which is exactly what will give you an advantage in the future when all we’ve got (hopefully) is our ability to shape and guide our agents via the prompts we write.

If the programming language of the future is the English language, then you probably need to start speaking it more, which will involve leaving your parents basement and venturing outside to engage with other human beings. If touching grass causes you anxiety, then at least start talking to your AI of choice and get better at communicating that way, because it might be the only skill we need in a future of super intelligent agents that can do all our bidding.
