I asked an open-source app to take my plugin into its own code. Minutes later a robot blocked it: one of my contributors hadn't signed the contract. The contributor was Claude.

I've never met most of my team. One made the model, one ported it, one shrank it, one merges the code, one tested it in Andalusian Spanish. I learned who most of them were from a page my AI kept.

I asked my AI to build a plugin for the newest speech model I'd heard about that morning. It came back: done, everything streams, just start it on your GPU box. I don't have a GPU box.

The best ideas I have arrive when both my hands are on the handlebars, kilometres from a keyboard. For a while I could catch them. This week I taught the machine to actually do something with them.

This spring I spent weeks patching a dictation app until it behaved. This morning I threw all of that work away — and it was the best upgrade I've made this year.

Somewhere on the autobahn to Austria, a colleague filed a support ticket at 130 km/h — both hands on the wheel the whole time.
