AI is stealing my joy in programming
We have to talk about AI. Again. I know. But I have some strong, mixed feelings about it.

Guillermo Rauch made an "interesting" post about how code is now no longer in the focus of developers. And how it was always wrong to glorify it.
Yeah ... I don't fully agree...
AI companies like OpenAI are buying up open source tools. They have a strategy behind that. Maybe not one that will benefit the main users of those tools though.
There are many AI (coding) agents. Claude Code, Codex ... and many more.
They're all great. And they all can actually do more than just coding. That's why the "PI" agent stands out!
With the rise of AI agents, CLIs, text input and text formats like markdown and JSON are becoming more important and useful than ever before (or at least since the ~80s). And for a good reason!
It's a ... difficult ... time for developers. Everything's changing quickly. There are people spreading fear. There are people spreading hope. There are challenges and opportunities. Yeah ... it's a lot!
Angular 2 was released in 2016. I released my first major course on Udemy about Angular exactly 10 years ago. Time to look back AND ahead!
OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot) had some pretty "intense" days. There's been (and still is!) lots of hype around it.
Because it's the first (working) personal AI assistant. Still, I'm not really getting the hype...
Tailwind CSS is amazing library. It really is. I want it to succeed. But I'm not using for all my projects anymore.
Dario Amodei shared a quite ... ambitious ... timeline / expectation on when AI will be able to build software on its own. I'm not so sure about it...
