2025 proofed that skipping on writing essays (and other writing-related tasks) was among fairly bad decisions of my youth. Writing anything in human language is a torture now. This includes blogposts and AI agent prompts

If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

Thank you. Although, it'd be better if in 2026 there was any support for Broadcom WiFi chips finally

Sometimes I re-read my own replies on github or slack, and I'm not sure if a real human wrote them, or this was an AI-generated summary.
