There was a time when writing beautiful code was the goal, where naming was poetry and indentation was sacred. But let’s be honest: it wasn’t about performance or outcomes. It was about making life easier for (and impressing) other developers. That era is fading fast, replaced by a world where results matter more than elegance and code isn’t written for humans anymore.

If you’ve ever copied something out of ChatGPT and pasted it into LinkedIn, Notion, or your CMS, I make a quick little tool to help you out.

You’re told to post daily, engage constantly, and craft a personal brand to stand out on LinkedIn. But between spam bots, content farming, and the creeping suspicion that half your audience isn’t even human, the whole thing starts to feel hollow. Welcome to the absurd reality of job hunting on LinkedIn in 2025.

We're on the brink of a major shift. For decades, the stereotype of the ideal developer has been the same: someone who lives, breathes, and dreams in code. They memorise algorithms, wrestle endlessly with syntax, and churn through lines faster than anyone else in the room. And for a long time, that's been enough. But those days are ending.

A few days ago, I asked ChatGPT to tell me about "The Krell Tool Paradox" and how it affected ADHD. The answer was really well thought out and offered some real insight into how much ADHD people can struggle with the tools we use to help us. The only problem is, I completely made it up!

If you've ever found yourself frustrated with the output of AI-assisted IDEs like Cursor or Windsurf, then I might have some bad news for you. Are you sitting down? Because you're probably not gonna like this: It's kinda your own fault.

As abstractions become less necessary, we might be heading toward a future where writing code by hand is the exception, not the norm. When that happens, what happens to the tooling we all love so much?

The rise of LLMs, particularly agent-based (agentic) IDE's like Cursor and Windsurf has changed the face of coding forever and it's not going anywhere, so you may as well get on board.
