this whole GenAI craze is happening at an interesting time for me, because i look at this also through the lens of "maybe, i am just getting old. maybe, i am just an old guy yelling at clouds. maybe, this is how the older programmers felt when my generation showed up with their SPAs and mobile first apps."
