Everything is undergoing chaos all at once, everywhere.

Programming has not had such a powerful upheaval since probably forever. Some is grift, some is awe, some is sadness. What I want out of programming since craft in some regards, but more like rigor over craft. While I have some friends that really really enjoy writing code in the small, and that is now gone. They have to find a new niche to hid in, but corporate america it is not. And this same action will continue to erode and reshape what it means to be a technologist in really really different ways that we have no idea what they will look like.

If you don't like all the AI articles, then I suggest you ask Claude to write you a new front end to HN using the firebase api and an embedding model.
