Annoyingly I've been all-in AI coding since 2023 and I don't have much to show for it. Now that all but the most extreme luddites are converted I have no edge. It's not like you have all that much skill in AI to build up before you can crush out utils with a modern coding agent.
Oh well.

I probably have full blown AI psychosis at this point but decided to go hard on personal digital security.
I run self hosted Immich, a Google Photos alternative. But it requires docker and is kind of bloated on the server side. So I'm having a bot rewrite it in Rust and I'm planning to lock it down hard in the most fascist systemd unit possible. Uses 1/10th the RAM so far.
The Emudhra CA private key is 4 thing made me wonder about my IoT devices being vulnerable to upstream MitM attacks so I'm installing a custom nft tap on my router to intercept and check outbound TLS.
I have two different home lighting systems. Wrote a daemon that drives them and also an app for my phone that has a unified dashboard for all of the lights. Home Assistant is bloat.
Replaced a WordPress site with a Rust version that runs on bare metal, no OS. Can't trust anything;
I currently use a Telegram bot to message me anything interesting about the household but rolled out a phone app that basically stays always on and connected so my servers can push to them directly. No need to rely on Google Firebase Push crap or Telegram.
Also decided to integrate globally shared copy/paste for all of my devices. Basically copy/paste works between Mac, Linux and Android now. With an option to share with the household common clipboard.
Used Claude to hack my fridge because I found out it has fucking Wi-Fi and I needed to see if it was actually still joined to something (yes, searching the previous owner's network) and figured out how to shut the WiFi off entirely.
Might see if I can leverage that Emudhra CA thing to MitM attack my IoT devices myself, perhaps I can intercept and take over the functions they expect a C&C thing in the cloud to be providing.
Yeah. it's just been aggravating to have people call me a slop peddler or whatever all of this time until finally and very recently elite programmers have begun to admit they use AI tools and the attacks have died down. Mostly it's from the neo luddites who refuse the tools on anti-capitalist or climate worry reasons and they've retreated to mastodon and lobster.rs
I'm still having a bit of a personality hit from this super valuable skill that I know turning into a commodity as cheap as water before my eyes but it's also fun to ship like 20x faster. Every side project: DONE
I am seeing some colleagues descend into a form of light AI psychosis. For satire, this Kai Lentit video hits very close to home: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WV6A1Zf3F2Q
