I'm working as an operations associate for Ashgro, keeping AI from killing everyone. It's a lot of work.

I stopped doing software development professionally. Parts of it became easier with LLMs, other parts became less enjoyable. I feel there is less value now in thinking things through and structuring them well for the future. The new economic way of building things is unappealing, the old way can only be done as a hobby, like knitting sweaters by hand.

With Claude Code, things have become fun again. At least for small, short-term projects. No idea how it would be for big, long-term projects. Probably fine. We should stop here and exploit what we have for a good long time before driving AI capabilities further.


I stopped practicing singing. AI has become too scary. I need to work more.


My location is Kagoshima, Japan. My daughter is one year and four months old.
