It’s funny how perspective changes everything. As I sit here reflecting during Thanksgiving week, I’m struck by just how different things feel compared to a year ago. Sometimes you don’t realize how far you’ve come until you take a moment to look back.

If you haven’t been sleeping under a rock for the past few years, you’ve probably heard the buzz about AI-powered coding tools. GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, Anthropic Claude - these robo-devs are making waves and promising to revolutionize how we sling code. But are they really the game-changers they claim to be, or just overhyped toys? Let’s cut through the noise and see what’s really crackin’.

The landscape of web development is undergoing a profound transformation, one that reminds me of the early days of responsive design or the shift to mobile-first thinking. But this time, the change is more fundamental - AI isn’t just another tool in our toolkit, it’s reshaping how we approach the entire development process.

The world of technology never ceases to amaze me with its rapid evolution and unexpected convergences. Recently, I’ve been deeply involved with an exciting project at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency - the @ai16z/eliza project.

Things have been going really well as Jenney heals at home. She’s back to doing everything she was always able to do, and our latest scans have shown no signs of cancer growth! Praise God!
