Hi HN,

I'm the author!

This article grew out of my master's thesis presentation at NYU ITP. While building creative coding tools over the past few years, I started wondering why we still write code when AI can increasingly generate it for us.

My conclusion isn't that coding is becoming less important. It’s that coding is valuable because toolmaking is one of the fastest ways to learn. The article expands on that idea through examples from projects I've built, including Recho.

Happy to answer questions or discuss.
