[sdiy] AI code generation

[Roman Sowa]

My thoughts exactly. Even long before AI I always felt the need to do 
everything myself, be it programming or manufacturing, you name it. For 
once it scares me to use parts of the code that I don't know what it 
does because it was written by someone else (or AI) and I really like to 
know exactly how the thing I'm making is doing what it's doing in every 
detail.

There's not many years of any career ahead of me so I don't have to 
compete with everybody.
