Assuming the pessimists (optimists?) are right about this, the answer may be not a Nietzschean striving for excellence but instead a more Taoist go-with-the-flow mindset. As someone who regularly needs to remind himself to touch grass, I c…
"Big Tech’s War on Human Achievement" by Gregory Conti https://www.compactmag.com/article/big-techs-war-on-human-achievement/

"Understanding is the new bottleneck" by Geoffrey Litt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBPX-oDMnA
One of the most useful talks on AI coding I've seen. I've been using the explain-diff-notion skill for a week, and it is *awesome*.
Honestly if you're not talking about LLMs with reference to demons, gods, the human soul, the collapse of meaning, etc then I think you're not really getting at the heart of the matter. It's as if space aliens, Bigfoot, and a portal to hel…
"The Dark Night of Mathematics" by Kirwin Hampshire https://kirwinhampshire.substack.com/p/the-dark-night-of-mathematics
This is similar to what I was getting at in "We mourn our craft." Seems mathematicians are going through the same stag…
The reason I'm not convinced is because the same bloated 300-line tortured logic that an LLM will spit out is exactly the thing that the next LLM will look at and be baffled by. Whereas if you just fix the problem at the source, and find t…
There's this weird phenomenon where, I think, the naïve use of LLMs creates problems that only LLMs can solve. If you sling hundreds of lines of code that you don't understand, then eventually only LLMs will be able to work with the codeba…
"Understanding is the new bottleneck" by @geoffreylitt https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2026/07/02/understanding-is-the-new-bottleneck.html
I'm going to try some of these techniques. If you don't understand the code, you won't get shower-ideas…
The natural reaction from someone who has spent their career teaching, researching, evangelizing, etc. is to deny, plead, bargain, denounce, etc., but these are all just the stages of grief. I think it's better to laugh and move on – imper…
E.g. I spent years writing about CSS performance (and gave a talk on it at PerfNow). This is the kind of thing that used to require intricate knowledge of browser internals, the Chrome DevTools, etc.
I'm 1000% certain that you can just thr…
