I see a lot of posts stating "Software Engineering used to be more fun before AI" and "AI has taken away all creativity from Engineering"

It's easy to be a nay-sayer. Let me show how AI has NOT killed creativity in tech.

This film is a masterclass of telling a predictable story using voice over.

When I was in the Peace Corps in North Macedonia, I experienced culture shock and felt a sense of alienation. I wasn’t feeling very creative at all. I mentioned this to a friend in a nearby town. She said the most important eleven words to me: "You have to be more creative with how you are creative."

Start with a morning intention. Say to yourself:

"I will learn something incredible in the next 24 hours."

The anticipation of learning something incredible will keep your mind curious throughout the day.

#creativity #morning #learning

Everyone suffers from some form of imposter syndrome. If they haven’t, they will. And if they deny it, they have never truly learned anything their entire life.

I came back from speaking at @RenderATL energized and full of ideas. The byproduct of a few months development in my free time and some writing, I learned how to create an Astro.js blog, host it with Github pages, and point it at a custom domain.

@JohnCleese I didn’t know we had a king! I thought we were an autonomous collective!

AI tools are what we feed them. Using vanilla CSS, it wanted to add a transition for color to every color declaration. Works 100% of the time, 50% of the time.

Villains in movies and tv shows live in places with the worst lighting. “This room comes with a single shaft of aggressive light? I’ll take it!”
