  "textContent": "> I desire to connect with people. I long for the days where I was vulnerable and shared my struggles with engineers who charitably stepped up to support me. I miss taking what I learned from those struggles and sharing them back out as a blog post or presentation, encouraging the next person to overcome the same challenge.\n>\n> It will take me a while to get back into these habits that have been weakened from AI use, but it is a necessity to maintain humanity in software development. It is sincerely an art form; A craft that takes dedication, perseverance and especially, a strong community to endure. Software was built by humans, for humans. If it’s not built by humans, then who is it being built for?\n>\n> If that experience of building with AI is truly the future, then you can leave me behind.",
