Nerd guilt

2 min read

Testing. Testing.

I have been told before that I have no desire to be social. While not the same; I don't really have a social media presence.

Nerd guilt is a good word for my condition. I think this is a good outlet to recover.

Shouting into the infinite, its cozy here.


I LOVE my projects so much. AI has been such a powerful tool in allowing me to accomplish my goals while maintaining school & work.

  • It has allowed me to 'write' all of this code. Vibe coding. My deepest sin to this point.
  • It helped me learn and build tools to automate networking to host it all from spare server blades that work threw out.
  • It(along with my job) helped me research and build out the electrical infrastructure to safely (and to code) power the blades.

My AI usage tugs at my soul though. Sometimes I fear that I am no better than others and my usage is problematic.

I see no future without it though: It takes chores and turns them into puzzles that can be solved. I love puzzles. I love helping people. Someday I hope the scales balance.

I wonder where the line is drawn though. I hear people complain (rightfully) about genAI...

Claude code is a type of genAI. Opus 5.5 is just way too good to pass up. As a tool to write code to solve my problems its like crack.

Using sonnet(I think) a few months ago I created my first website as a demo to learn about website re-directs and how to randomly serve gifs/pages: https://www.naliwajka.com/peter

Video generation is arguably the worst class of AI usage. I have seen some cool animal videos though...

I am contenting myself with having AI create custom blender setups to get around using straight video generation.

We have reached the decompile age though. The AI compute required to do it is just awful but its basically CS magic.

The future is now. I'm so happy to be here.
