Do I even care?

I’m starting to understand why Lee Sedol no longer plays Go.

As you might have been able to tell from this site, I like doing programming and math projects for fun. I take a lot of pride in these little posts. Or maybe “took” is a better word.

The last year has been… draining. I’ve watched my passion become a $20 subscription. It feels awful. It’s like a specter hanging over me saying “That project you did last month? That’s a prompt now. Oh you studied hard to solve this problem? Did you run it by Claude?”. I feel like a car just driven off the lot.

I believe I will continue to do personal projects like I have before, regardless of LLMs.

But I can’t help but notice the luster of my work is no longer so captivating.
