Re:Ask HN: How to bullet proof yourself from AI? on Monday January 19, 2026 @10:00AM (#46679746)
I don’t think anyone can be 100% AI-proof.

My plan is simple: learn the tools, but double down on fundamentals—systems thinking, testing, and owning outcomes.

Yes, I record what and why I'm grateful about it.
I'm proud that I built consistency with my health habits. I used to struggle with brushing my teeth at night, but since July last year I've been consistent, which has really helped me in my dental health. About 6 months ago, I also started jotting down three things I'm grateful about for every day at night. Now these two habits have become my day shutdown rituals.
Re:Ask HN: Is Programming as a Profession Cooked? on Sunday January 11, 2026 @12:32PM (#46577673)
Programming is dramatically accelerated with AI, making code implementations cheap and fast. However software engineering still depends on us for problem definition, system designs, debugging, etc. Profession isn't disappearing, developers just spend less time typing and more time thinking and deciding.
