OMG, that resonates with me. I will share two projects with you in my github that are not ready for anyone yet but maybe you will love it. I don't care cause I do but maybe :)
The first is a Dungeon Master replacement that grew so big I couldn't work on it without an AI's help to tell me whats to be worked on next. That sucked. Grrr..
https://github.com/bartanderson/dj2
I have an old set of tools that was used to gather context for AI to allow me to give the AI what it needed to help me. That sucked. Grrr..
That's part of the above tools.old. It was ok, but it sucked. Grr..
Now the one I am still working on, so much yak shaving going on.. Anyways its job is to deterministically gather facts about the software in question and help me reason about it and find related things and all kinds of interesting things about the software and reason over it with light AI narration. I wanted to share it with people. I got Claude (20$/mo) and then I started taking off with lots of additional (sometimes unnecessary) things but Claude helps keep me on track a little. He is programmed to do that with my guides. The new program Determined is multi language, working with several corpuses/corpora (projects :) and it seems to be doing well. I keep having claude evaulate target software and then have it identify gaps between what my tool says and what it thinks. It has some interesting and sophisticated capabilities. I could have just quit it but I don't give up and I wanted to make something (sound familiar). Anyways, thanks for your post. I had been afraid to post something because it wasn't ready and all the anti AI slop that just doesn't have any understanding of what you can do if you set up a good framework and then start filling it in. And it is https://github.com/bartanderson/Determined. Thanks for your post. Be completely unapologetic for doing what you love.

> Just keep building... If you don't want to use AI, don't. If you want to, great.
I love this sentiment. Quality should transcend the tooling used to create it.
The by-hand artisan coder vs the LLM-assisted artisan coder - not that big a difference in practice. The important part is actually giving AF about your work.
Ultimately it's about skin in the game. Do you care about what you're building or not? Show me, don't tell me.
