it's as simple as i do this for fun, and i don't find giving an ai all the fun at poking at something instead of doing it myself fun. put it another way, i like using my brain
i like coding, i like staring at devtools, binary ninja, or whatever else for hours, i like exploring weird library source code and tracing it with nothing but github code search and a dream, it is fun to me. i don't do anything on this blog for money, i do it for fun, the money part is just a nice side effect
[...] i think that people have been way too lost in this wave of ai everything, that they are disregarding doing things themselves by a whole lot. it is still extremely fun to just, write code yourself, debug things yourself, stare at minified js bundles for hours at a end, cycle through random interesting looking subdomains, it's all fun! and i feel people have forgotten that a bit
