maybe it’s just 3d printing 2.0

3D printing was awesome. Once or twice a year, it could make something for me that was genuinely useful. It also occupied a big chunk of space in the house and mostly created mostly useless plastic junk creating more clutter - we started 3D printing in 2018 and gave the printer away to someone with a bigger house in 2020. Once since then I have asked him to print something for me. It's that useful.

AI agents are making software. I've got Terabyte flash drives smaller than a key fob - the clutter won't be a problem in our house anytime soon. So far, Claude has helped me cleanup / fix several hobby software projects in amazingly short time to an amazingly high level of polish.
