The thing about this example is that using power tools just makes your effort more efficient. You're still learning and experiencing the effort of gardening.

When you use AI for tasks, you're removing that effort. You are practicing writing prompts, NOT doing the task. You aren't getting better at coding and managing your workflow or planning out how you could have done it better for next time, so you won't ever improve.

If AI does all the entry level coding, then there won't be any humans to LEARN coding. Then when senior coders retire, there is only AI to take their place.

And that goes for EVERYTHING. We are exactly 1 generation of talent away from having no humans who can code, or who can do art, or who can write stories, or who can make movies. The human experience is a process, and you have to actually do the damn work to get there.

I know this isn't the point, but this is absolutely not how scales work.

Nothing Phones seem promising. Although their models make no sense. They have main phones, mid phones, budget phones, and then a whole sub brand called cmf that has ITS OWN phone hierarchy.

At the very least they are different and trying new things.

SomeBODY one told me-

Quit screwing around.

So i just got a Oneplus Open (the folding phone) and have been test driving launchers to see what works well.

Call me crazy, but Microsofts launcher they made for the Duo is actually really solid. You can adjust the dock to pull out like a mini app drawer while still having a full app drawer (with folder support), and each of those is independent (you have have a dock be like 12 columns wide and 3 rows tall while your homescreens are something more normal like 4x4). Individual icon changes too, which is always a big deal for me. And you can even do things like have the app drawer show the defauot icons while your homescreen is all custom icons.

It even has a universal search bar like nova does, and you can toggle what it searches for (apps, documents, web, all of the above). I was worried it would force me to use microsoft stuff to get the full use out of it, but nope.

Im honestly incredibly impressed. Its almost as featured as the free version of Nova launcher.

Fun fact: orange (the fruit) is actually named after the tree they grow on (essentially called "fruit of the orange tree") which was then shortened to just "oranges", and THEN the color was named after the fruit (color of the fruit of the orange tree) which was then also shortened to just "orange", so technically the fruit is not named after a color, its the other way around.
