I've found my people. I discovered my love of programming in the 80s at the age of 10 on a TRS-80. But I'm not a kid anymore with infinite free time to learn new tech. I have a lot of responsibilities. So by the time I get up to speed on the latest and greatest, the industry has moved on. Claude has reinvigorated my love for buildings apps. I completed a side project in an afternoon. I built a custom app for my wife in a couple of days. I released an iOS app. And since my job does not allow for direct AI integration out of security concerns, I still get my fill of coding by hand. I resisted the AI movement at first but once I embraced it, it became a win-win for me.
