When AI Codes, What's Left for me?
About this episode
The episode explores the impact of AI coding agents on personal identity and creativity in building things.
I've always found meaning—and a lot of strength—in building things. Now, with AI coding agents changing the way we work, it's easy to feel threatened, like something essential might get taken away. But honestly, that creative urge can't be replaced by any tool. In this episode, I talk about what it's like when your identity is tied to making things, and the tools suddenly change.
