The terminal is evolving from precise commands to conversational AI collaboration. After hands-on testing with Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex CLI, and Amazon Q Developer on real projects, I explore how these tools are transforming development workflows. From reviving legacy Laravel codebases to addressing GitHub issues, each tool brings distinct strengths and costs. The verdict? AI CLI tools excel at the "first 90%" but still need human oversight for production-ready code.
After working in enterprise environments, I've learned that success isn't just about writing brilliant code or having the best technical skills. It's about understanding power dynamics, building social capital, and knowing when to dive headfirst into problems others avoid. This isn't the sanitised version of career advice you'll find in most places—it's the messy, honest truth about what actually works.
After five years away from regular web development, I'm diving back in with this new digital garden. Here's why I built it, who it's for (hint—maybe no one), and what you might find here. A rambling journey through my return to the front-end wilderness.
