Several months ago, I decided that AI contributions were no longer welcome in a FOSS project I am building and maintaining - LibreWeddingPlanner. It’s not that it got a lot of contributions with AI — actually all contributions I’ve had are translations and feature requests — but I wanted to...

I recovered the joy of programming. And I didn’t look back. I won’t pretend that number of lines of code or PRs is a valid metric, especially when AI can be as verbose as it wants to win on every metric. But I can say that I am pushing significant changes every day, getting PRs merged, and at the end of the day, getting the work done. And for that reason, I’m not scared of being fired. Plus, I’m keeping my brain functions intact.

    maybe AI and computers are good at context switching, but not me

    Interesting phrase, because AI is not good at context. Maybe that’s how it can easily switch (if indeed it can): it doesn’t recontextualize.
