timsoret spots a new trend: "No AI, [badass human feat]". As the world uses AI to build faster and bigger, artisanal software engineering will become a nostalgic niche like crochet, swordsmithing or bushcraft channels — though learning technical topics from a trustworthy, experienced human remains enjoyable.
The attached screenshot backs it up: Hayyooth's YouTube video "No AI, 52 min. Build all Linux Files utils in C by Hand" — hand-writing Linux file utilities in C with zero AI — pulled 107K views in 6 days.
