What started as building a trading app over the weekend had bled into my work week.
The early versions worked. But now I was staring at a bug with no idea where to start. Every troubleshooting session with AI opened three new questions, and AI would egg me on for more approvals.
That’s what my daughter tells me when I ask her to write the same letter more than five times.
She doesn’t want to do it. I understand why. I was the same.
Writing was my weakness growing up. I practised it over and over, not because I enjoyed it, but because I had to. It became acceptable. Not great. Just good enough.
If you have been following AI over the last few months, you may have felt something shift.
The models are better. The tools are more capable. New possibilities appear almost every week. On the surface, it finally feels like AI is delivering on what it promised.
But alongside that progress sits a quieter feeling.
A growing sense that the world is moving faster than you can keep up with.
