here is something weird: when i was doing my 48-hour livestream, from time to time, i would end up writing the code myself instead of asking AI to do it

and i kept seeing messages in the chat, not from my community, but from people watching me for the first time, saying things like "why are you writing that with your own hands?" or "why don't you just ask ai?"

gonna tell you something: in this AI world, a lot of people will try to make you feel like doing things yourself is not worth it anymore

that's not true

doing things yourself is how you learn.. it's how you build intuition, understand the details, make mistakes, and develop your own taste

AI can help you move faster, but speed isn't always the goal

sometimes the goal is to understand.. sometimes the goal is to practice.. sometimes the goal is simply to enjoy the process of creating something with your own hands and fu*cking enjoy the craft

using AI is a skill, but knowing when not to use it is also a skill 🤌🏻
