And here I am in October 2025 still using "AI" tools via a chat UI in Emacs, like a caveman. I've written some code to help me with managing context and such, but the tools are there when I need them, and otherwise stay out of my way.

I have no interest in trying to understand the thought process of people who write and work like this. They're more interested in chasing the latest overhyped trends produced by tech companies and influencers, than actually producing quality software that solves real-world problems. It's some weird product of the tech and social media echo chambers they perpetually live in, which I find difficult to describe.

But apparently I have to learn about "skills" and "superpowers" now... Give me a break.
