I wrote this post nearly 3 months ago, and it feels like I got 3 years older since then. Strange that I never published it.
Now with a much more profound understanding of AI and much, much better models, the changes I made here would have been done in minutes. I guess. 😅
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A lot of these posts can probably be deleted because they already feel outdated.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.
I’m in the last 20% of my #AdventOfProgress project for a public release, but I started a new project over the weekend. Now I’m here in the last 20% and got distracted with an old project. 😅
Today something out of my control distracted me. And while I get distracted, I get more ideas to distract myself even more from other stuff.
Getting distracted from distractions is distracting. 🫠

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.
Yes, I was randomly scrolling through YouTube and watched this video. Yes, I should have done something productive instead, but I was watching this video. Simon explained in this video that you have to turn negative into positive, like what we need to tell our kids, too. Instead of “don’t eat on the couch,” say “eat on the table.” Or “don’t look for obstacles” – “look for the path.”
It’s already a bit late, and I've been sitting on this for a while now. No idea why, but here it is. 🏆
Every New Year's resolution I had over the past years never worked out. So I stopped having them and thought about something manageable I could achieve. Which was also not working out because every time I try to work on a side project with a deadline, something occurs and moves my attention.
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
Recently, I saw Clawd.bot, which is a personal AI assistant and looks promising. Let's see what use cases I can find here.

To everyone who reads this, a happy new year 2026! 🚀
I left 2025 satisfied and happy among my loved ones. We gathered at my home with some friends and their kids. It was a nice evening. While waking up, I started to write these words. I initially planned to write them before leaving 2025. But this time I will publish my review. For 2024, I’ve started the post but never finished it.
