i tried re-kickstarting my coding hobby with ai, i started with chatgpt, worked my way to openclaw, put it down when i discovered i wasn't touching code anymore and that took something essential out of it. analog is the only truly rewarding lifestyle left. i nabbed 4lb of brussells sprouts at the city farmers market for a buck and spent several hours prepping, cooking, and freezing them, by the time i was done i was like, you know i know why people open restaurants now.
it's not that i don't have any interesting ideas, it's that it's just not fun enough to chase digital dreams anymore. why build my own text editor on top of my own vt100 abstractions if i'm never gonna use it? i may get around to building a kitchen inventory app or even just using the prototype i have now, but that's only going to be useful if i'm cooking for a crowd and not just me.
