Who Knitted Your Sweater?

Just a few weeks ago, I read a wonderful analogy: writing software is like knitting.

Both are a craft, both are creative, both take hours to master, and both offer the joy and satisfaction of accomplishing a goal.

And as an aside, anyone familiar with knitting knows it has its own language and follows patterns, much like software.

But AI has changed that.

Instead of writing, testing, and shipping code, we ask agents to do it for us.

Furthermore, some people ask multiple agents simultaneously.

But is this a bad thing? For me, I don't think so.

It's possible this brings opportunities we never saw or imagined before.

As a surfing metaphor, try pointing your board in the direction of the surf, you might catch a great wave.

But don't worry, you don't have to stop using your needles. You can do that too.
