A Beginner's Companion to the AI Frontier
Don't panic — just code with AI. A travel-size companion for anyone curious about stepping into the world of AI-assisted coding. Field notes from the edge of the AI frontier.
The photons entering your eyes right now left Rigel in 1165—from the year Notre-Dame de Paris rose stone by stone, when guild masters codified the path from apprentice to craftsman to master, when Chrétien de Troyes wrote the first Arthurian romances of chivalric excellence. 860 years that photon traveled, carrying a question across the void: What have you mastered that proves your readiness for what comes next?
The photons entering your eyes right now left Betelgeuse in 1477—from the year the printing press arrived in England, when Leonardo da Vinci began his career, when the Renaissance exploded across Europe. 548 years that photon traveled, witnessing humanity's creative revolution, arriving tonight to ask: What are you creating that will seed what comes after?
The photons entering your eyes right now left Polaris in 1592. While the entire celestial sphere spins overhead, this star holds its position within a degree of true north. Ancient mariners crossed oceans by its light. Modern seekers find their center by its example. January 4-13: discover the fixed point you navigate by.
Working with AI doesn't just teach you new things. It reveals how much of what you 'know' is shallow, contextual, or simply wrong. And it happens at a pace that's psychologically disorienting.
When you have unlimited patience from your AI teammate, you grow more patient with your human teammates. When you can iterate rapidly on ideas with AI assistance, you become less precious about any particular approach with humans.
There's a moment when you realize you're not just using AI anymore. You're conducting an orchestra of intelligences, each with its own voice, its own strengths, its own way of seeing the world.
