A classifier went from a $200M to a $7.5B valuation in 24 days. We've seen this before: blockchain. Same hype, same irrational money. And no, it's not like the dot-com fiber boom: fiber lasts decades, GPUs go obsolete in a couple of years. Who pays when the music stops?

I wrote a chess engine that beats real players. I still can't play chess. Developers who hand their coding to AI are heading the same way: they can build the machine but can't play the game. We go through the evidence (Anthropic, METR, Microsoft/CMU), the best counterarguments, and the habits that protect your skills. The main one: never generate more code than you can read.

DHH told Rails World that hand-written code is over, that HEY's backend is being AI-rewritten in Rust ("amazing, as long as you never look at it"), and that developer happiness no longer matters. This episode checks his statements.
