Our economy is no longer one that produces things to be consumed, but rather one that increases consumption. This is what that looks like.

A bunch of different things. Spend time with friends and family. Exercise. Be in nature. Sauna. Stop using tech a couple hours before bed. Read physical book in bed before sleeping

wow

I deal with it by not worrying about it.

When I feel like doing it (for my own projects), I do, if not, I don't.

I spent almost all of 2025 without touching any of my personal projects, although I've started working on them again this year.

While I'm on the clock at work, I do, when I'm not on the clock, I don't.

Same as before A.I.

I don't sleep that well but that's because of other reasons (I often fall asleep on the couch with the lights on, like a dummy, and then wake up several hours later and go to bed properly).

Today Claude Code built several features and fixed a laundry list of bugs while I was at the movie theatre. When I came home I did about 15 minutes of reviewing its work and doing manual testing, found some issues, made a list and fired it off to Claude again before going to bed.

I’m not mentally taxed at all, in fact I’m excited to be building something 24/7 without sitting at my keyboard night and day typing out code and ruining my physical health.

When I reflect on the old days of coding (pre 2024) I have a hard time thinking about how many days of my life I spent manually coding away at the keyboard - it makes me queasy and uncomfortable realizing the amount of time I lost.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to go to the gym and have Claude bang out several more features while I’m exercising - and I’m stoked to review the results and keep the ball rolling.
