AI isn’t replacing humans - it’s pushing us to be more human. Here’s how agents can unlock creativity, movement, and better ways of working.
You’ve seen gloomy narratives in the tech media about AI making everything worse for humans. But I believe it has the power to unleash our humanity, not diminish it.
It requires us to flip our habits, change our culture, and reverse our heuristics. We’ll be rewarded with improved physical health, better communication, and boundless creativity. These are the biggest reversals we're experiencing in this new era:
This is my favorite reversal - I don’t need to sit at a desk anymore! I can code while on the move, and I LOVE to move. I built the majority of bay.dance by texting/speaking to my agent in English - initially on replit, and now using a combo of Claude Code and Happy . I contributed way more features to it this way than I ever did sitting at a desk. And it's used by hundreds of real dancers!
Software is now a couch job, walk job, park job, train job, bus job, studio job, toilet job, maybe even a desk job - it’s wherever you want it to be.
At my job, I drew a flowchart in my notebook and sent a photo of it to Claude Code. It digitized my hand-drawing as an excalidraw diagram that I could tweak and plop straight into my slide deck!
