Endless execution
Going straight from an idea to the result still feels like a new kind of magic.
DHH, in Endless execution:
The age of agents has brought us endless execution. Every idea, every hunch, every experiment is now within immediate reach. For people with endless ideas, this is nirvana.

This is simply the most fun I've ever had with a computer. And I've loved them dearly for over forty years. I loved programming them myself. I loved the games. The configuration. The tactile experience. But none of it as much as I love the power to execute every idea that crosses my mind.
I’ve loved machines, and computers in particular, for as long as I can remember. I understand why some people miss writing the code by hand. I loved that too.
What I find irresistible now is being able to ask for something and get it. Even a small piece of configuration no longer has to become a three-day research project before I can do the thing I wanted to do in the first place.
I can go straight to the result. I still care about the details when they matter, but I no longer have to turn every detail into the project.
It feels like magic. I love it.
