Long but interesting piece. There's indeed a lot to say about our relationships to tools in general and generative AI in particular. It's disheartening how it made obvious that collaborative initiatives are diminishing. In any case, ambivalence abounds in this text... for sure we can't trust the self-appointed stewards of the latest wave of such tools. The parallel with Spirited Away at the end of the article is very well chosen in my opinion. The context in which technologies are born and applied matters so much.

Looks like a nice resource to get started with graphics and 3D.

This is indeed interesting to see how the landscape evolved around error handling. There's clearly a tension between exceptions and the result types we've seen popping up everywhere now.
