I used to love posts like this. I even wrote my own basic runtime environment back in the day. But lately, because of AI, I've completely lost interest in this kind of stuff.
I don't say that lightly. I've been coding since I was 11 and loved every minute of it. I'm 52 now, and once I fully gave in to using AI, I pretty much stopped writing code myself.
Has anyone else felt like they've lost that spark?
Wrote a game, and played with Google Analytics, and a few others - I have to say how disapointed I was with google = used to be easy to use, now its just so frustrating and the stats make no sense to me.
Anyhow, whipped this up and I am actually benefitting from the stats - game changes, etc.
I am capable of coding (25 years+) but just started playing with Claude Code, its actually pretty good. I have all the data in the DB (AI generated data)
Update: 2024, I no longer like coconuts.
