If you check out my writing on build.ms and fabisevi.ch you’ll see that the majority of it is meant to be evergreen observations of a concept or a moment in time. My goal is to make people think and to think about thinking, more than it is to tell people what exactly to think.
If I had to summarize my style in one sentence, it would walking people to and around an idea, and leaving the rest as an exercise to the reader. Naturally, this means I have less control over how people interpret my writing so I do try and cover my bases with fact and experience, but that still means sometimes I won’t deliver a complete picture to everyone.
In that case, sometimes I come to a place like HN or Bluesky or Mastodon where my post is being discussed and try add some perspective and clarity through constructive conversation. :)
If I’m being honest, I think we’re too early in the state of generative AI as a coding tool to draw very strong factual conclusions for many of our experiences using AI to code that will hold up well. I’m not implying it’s all vibes, but I think it would be pretty hard to wrap up my post in a bow the way you’re suggesting. On the other hand I’m always open to well-considered feedback — and would love to know more about your experience if you’re interested in sharing!
That’s a long way of saying happy holidays to you as well!
