Lets make some assumptions about the future:

• Agent’s contexts will be irrelevant. No “dumb valley”. No 1M tokens max.
• Token generation will be virtually free (100€/month/dev for unlimited tokens).
• Token generation will be virtually instant. Time for mid-effort tasks: 1 second max. Time for high-effort task: 20-30 seconds max.
• Current bottlenecks will be solved: code reviews, agentic code non-maintainability, security issues, deployment, error detection/automatic fixing, …

The following are my predictions. This will be a live post that will update as I have more ideas. In 2 year’s time (2028-10-26), I’ll check which ones are correct.

Curiosity is the feeling of something pulling your attention. Leaning towards that pull will satisfy your curiosity.

Learning while being curious about the subject is a great way to make progress. It feels effortless. You don’t know how long the curiosity is going to last, tho.

If you have curiosity, don’t wast it. Let it pull you in.

Obsession is different.

Obsession is the feeling of not being able to help yourself but to do whatever you’re obsessed about. You must do it. To not to do it, you must fight it.

AI has changed how we code. How we learn. How we set-up our environments. I’m exploring the new landscape, and so far I’m liking it a lot.

I’ve noticed I deviate from the original task. Taking on tangents. I do it all the time.

For example, starting this very blog. I want it to be versioned with git, of course. Which hosting provider do I want to use? Ask agent to investigate self-hosting solutions. Setup a promising one in my home-server. Reverse proxy rule for nginx. New DNS rules on CloudFlare. SSL? Lets ask Claude to do it as well. What about a CI/CD pipeline, to deploy the blog? Done in 15 minutes. Overall it took 2h to setup.
