With ChatGPT came charms; with Claude, the power to transfigure reality. Soon, Blast-Ended Skrewts will eat the world we know. https://www.dzikowski.online/copilot-autopilot.html https://www.dzikowski.online/copilot-autopilot.html Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Copilot is someone who assists you while you fly a plane. Autopilot is something that flies the plane without you at the controls. It does not require your attention. You just need to know when it's safe to use it. https://www.dzikowski.online/agents-are-slow.html https://www.dzikowski.online/agents-are-slow.html Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT Coding with agents definitely gives you more power. With a couple of sentences in natural language, you can create something that would take weeks. Yet I feel there is a fundamental flaw in this process -- you need to wait too long for a result. Agents give you superpower but destroy flow state. https://www.dzikowski.online/gravity.html https://www.dzikowski.online/gravity.html Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT AI has made software feel weightless. You can ask an agent to build an application, modify it, or rewrite it entirely in minutes. It feels disposable. But that illusion disappears the moment the system gains gravity. https://www.dzikowski.online/code-changes-data-stays.html https://www.dzikowski.online/code-changes-data-stays.html Mon, 29 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT One of my colleagues recently said about data we had in the database: I cannot imagine the code that would produce such data. And that's correct. We don't have that code right now. We used to have it in the past. https://www.dzikowski.online/human-ai-interface.html https://www.dzikowski.online/human-ai-interface.html Tue, 16 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT This article is part joke, part serious observation. It started as a prompt to ChatGPT to provide me with a short blog article titled: "Don't be a human / AI interface" targeted at developers who don't verify the code generated by AI.
