A software developer kept decade-old project ideas in a folder. Using AI tools on his commute, he finally built them through rapid prototyping. AI doesn't replace long-term thinking; it removes friction so you can actually do the work.
What about AI? Does AI eliminate the need for long-term thinking? How does AI fit into the long game?
There was actually a really interesting article that I read this morning in the New York Times, and it was a guy who is a longtime software coder, and he was talking about the fact that AI has personally, while scary in its implications for jobs, it has been personally meaningful and transformative for him because he said he had a folder of projects for over a decade that was kind of his maybe one day when I get the time to do it. And there was things he was interested in and curious about, but he never had the time to do them. And now with AI, literally, he said on his commute home from work while he's on the subway, he starts vibe coding with these apps. And he's been going through this amazing clip where he is actualizing things that he dreamed about a decade ago and never had time and never would have had time to accomplish. That's kind of cool. And I feel like that's a great use case of AI actually helping to fulfill someone's goals better and faster.
