Instead, the art moved from capturing images to choosing them. From the shutter finger to the editing eye. From “can I get the shot?” to “can I find the shot, in all of this, and do I know it when I see it?” The technical act got cheap. The judgment got more valuable. And an entire universe of new things that nobody predicted, things that couldn’t have existed in the era of 36 exposures, grew in the space that opened up.

I think that’s what’s happening now. With slides, with code, with writing, with design, with whatever domain you’re generating abundance in. The raw material is becoming infinite. The craft is migrating somewhere else.

This is step one of how things are going to be for everyone eventually. Get an idea from someone else, then have your clanker build it for you.

The whole thing is designed to be forked, but I don’t think I’ll really be accepting any PRs. At all. If you want something added, fork it and have your Claude add it. That’s the whole contribution model. That might come off as antisocial but I mean it in the completely opposite way. I want to hear about what you built, I just don’t want to be a bottleneck for whether you can build it.

Fear used to run the place. Fear of breaking the build, of untangling a stranger’s 4-year-old regex, of that ticket labeled ‘Small Fix’ that turns into a six-month expedition into the Mines of Legacy. But fear is just interest on the loan. And the rate is now zero.

It's like evolution. You don't design the perfect organism. You slop out millions of mutations and let selection sort it out. Except now selection happens in milliseconds and the mutations are guided by something that's read every programming book ever written.

The Architecture Overview isn't really architecture. It's "what would I want to know if I had amnesia?" The Technical Considerations aren't really instructions. They're "what would frustrate me if we had to repeat it?" The Workflow Process isn't really process. It's "what patterns emerged that I don't want to lose?" The Story Breakdown isn't really planning. It's "how do I make progress when everything resets?" Maybe that's all any documentation is. Messages to future confused versions of ourselves.
