@victor_bigfield As employee, you loose all your income if one person fires you
As an indie hacker, you only churn one customer if one person fires you
@ItsKieranDrew I have travelled more than anyone in my close circle.
I don’t regret it but I am aware of the trade off.
All that to say, each to their own.
I ask my lawyer to review an important email before sending.
He replied: “I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve said no comment. And this is one of them.”
The email was written exclusively by AI.
It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
