Trying out the max-length: 250 and 1 React component per file ESLint rules in a small project. Claude is now refactoring several files. One was at around 1000 LoC.

After writing Am I made for AI orchestration?, I thought about, if I should fear that AI could replace my job.

<!—more—>

Sure, why not? I love writing code. I really do. But I also love to create new software. I would miss writing code by hand and there will be time where I just do it, instead of letting AI do the job. Why not? If I work in my garage on wood projects, I use sometimes a hand saw (Japanese Saw) or a circular saw. Just use the right tool at the right time?

AI enables me to do things, that were too much work with not enough value. Now I can just add these small features to projects that were only on the nice-to-have-sometime-in-the-future list. It’s a win win for everyone.

Another thing where helps me, is getting startet with tasks. I often have a blocker in my head, where I feel lost and procrastinate until deadline is near. Here is just start talking with the AI about the topic and somehow I get motivated and start. Sounds crazy but it works wonders for me.

So, will AI replace my job? Yes, but I find another one, where I can utilize my tools to create and help!

I was scrolling through my drafted posts and realized how much has changed in the last year.

There are posts I had prepared where I wanted to show how I migrated X to Y, for example. With AI in mind, this could now be done in minutes, and it no longer feels worth talking or writing about.

A lot of these posts can probably be deleted because they already feel outdated. It’s crazy how much has changed in such a short time, but it’s also exciting to see how all of this continues to evolve.

I was never a person who could do plenty of things in parallel. It’s difficult for me to switch contexts. I usually stick to one topic and work on it until it’s done or I get distracted. But hopping back in is hard for me, which makes using AI in parallel a lot harder. That said, using AI is not the problem here. Me not being good at orchestration tasks at this level of parallelism needs to be fixed. In general I'm not bad at such tasks, but every so often it is just too much to handle.

Last weekend (when I prepared that post), I created a game for my oldest with Claude Code. After breakfast we discussed games he could play on his tablet. I thought that Sudoku would be a nice game for him, but maybe with images or shapes.

I use Claude Code a lot; that was what I thought. But seeing the /usage from last week, there is plenty of room to use it even more. :D

Displays the Claude Code `/usage`; the focus here is the “current week” with 25% for all models.

Recently, I saw Clawd.bot, which is a personal AI assistant and looks promising. Let's see what use cases I can find here.

For nearly a year I was a Raycast Pro user. With that, I was also able to use their AI features. Sadly it was not so satisfying, because you gained access to models you can use freely on respective sites. Yes, it solved as a proxy to avoid sharing sensitive data, at least I hoped, but I have no verification for this.

But now, I've moved to ChatGPT Plus. I could also use it with Raycast, but the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS looks good and works well. So, why use a wrapper?

Raycast Pro is payable, but besides the AI feature, I’ve only used the synchronization feature. The synchronization was useful for using the mobile app; sadly, it was not what I hoped, so there is no good reason to sync anymore. Only for backups, but this I can do myself.

I’m still using Raycast and love it for what it offers. Only the Pro subscription makes no sense to me anymore.

I will now explore more of what ChatGPT can do for me. I also can give Codex a try. Maybe I'll find time for this to try. :)
