I’ve lived through many hurricanes in Miami. The AI of today feels to me like the moment just before a hurricane makes landfall. Everything still looks relatively normal, but you know—something massive is approaching.

Recently, I needed to add a small feature to an old piece of software. In the past, if I had written it myself, it would have taken anywhere from three days to a week. Since the feature was relatively independent, I let AI write the code. It was done in one day.

Lately, I’ve also used AI to build several AI agents. Strictly speaking, I didn’t write a single line of code. I gave it the requirements. It designed the logic. It generated the program. During debugging, I even threw all the error messages, data, and logs at it and asked it to analyze them. It revised the code; I ran it again. If new problems appeared, I sent everything back to it. After several rounds, the programs stabilized. In the end, I even had it create a web interface. Now these agents are running on our internal network.

AI constantly swings me between excitement and fear. Am I creating, or merely relaying? Am I programming, or just promoting?

I feel it getting stronger every day—and the speed of its progress is astonishing.

I don’t know what it will ultimately bring, or what it will take away. There are too many unknowns. It feels like standing on ground that is slowly shifting beneath my feet, where the rules can change at any moment.

Before a hurricane arrives, the television and the media tell you roughly how strong it will be and what you need to prepare.

The AI hurricane will eventually arrive. But this time, no one can tell me how to prepare—because no one really knows.
