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 Alnilam around 25 CE, from the year Jesus of Nazareth walked Roman-occupied Judea, when Liu Xiu proclaimed the Eastern Han dynasty, when the Silk Road carried silk and philosophy across continents, when institutions were being forged that still govern civilization two thousand years later. Those photons traveled the void carrying a question: What are you building that will still stand when the next two thousand years have passed?
The photons entering your eyes right now left Bellatrix in 1775, from the year George Washington took command of a ragtag militia facing the world's greatest empire, when strategic will proved more powerful than brute force, when outnumbered colonists won through intelligence rather than firepower. 250 years that photon traveled, carrying a question across the void: What impossible goal requires strategy rather than strength?
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?
There's a moment when you realize you're not paying for tools anymore. You're paying for time. More specifically, you're paying to buy yourself back.
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.
