The words I publish on this site are my own unless explicitly&#xA;stated from the top.  There’s only one or two posts in this category.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;words-are-mine&#34;&gt;Words are mine &lt;a href=&#34;#words-are-mine&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The core of what this blog is, is my thoughts ideas, sharing experiences.  The&#xA;words are the important part.  They are not perfect, I often do not spell or&#xA;grammer check, and what is here is from a flow state of writing and very often&#xA;not refactored.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No AI unless explicitly stated&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;code-gen&#34;&gt;code gen &lt;a href=&#34;#code-gen&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Up till around 2023 all of the code to create the site was hand written by me.&#xA;I have my own site generator that I maintain [[ markata ]].&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From 2023 through 2025 snippets of code, sometimes entire plugins or modules&#xA;were created in chat apps like chatgpt.  There was no agentic coding, windsurf,&#xA;cursor, claude code, opencode, none of it.  It was all integrated into the site&#xA;by hand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Starting around Dec 2025 I was finding freely available agents through tools&#xA;like opencode to be more and more useful, making less mistakes, doing better at&#xA;getting context and making changes.  The flow is relying on heavy planning and&#xA;issue reporting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;image-gen&#34;&gt;image gen &lt;a href=&#34;#image-gen&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really got into stable diffusion as it came out.  I thought it was&#xA;fascinating to generate different kinds of images of things that I would&#xA;otherwise have no ability to create, for a long time I was generating images&#xA;for every post.  I’ve moved on from doing it for every post, but still do it&#xA;occasionally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I’m not an artist, sometimes I like to include art that I would not otherwise&#xA;be able to.  Most of the art you see on a post is AI generated, and may not&#xA;be called out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;-techbrophobic-&#34;&gt;[[ Techbrophobic ]] &lt;a href=&#34;#-techbrophobic-&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I feel this term strongly.  I find ai tooling useful, but the industry and hype bros bring a bad taste.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The tools do not not do everything right, you still have to think, watch its output.  You have to put the work in to do proper software engineering.  Its not a magic pill, but it has the ability to implement ideas, plans, very quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also the whole industry creeps me out.  The theft that happened to get here was wrong.  AI shovoled into everything as slop sucks.  The stock market pump is sus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>
