Here you'll find my thoughts on technology, blockchain, software engineering, and more.

I'm Going to Law School. Here's Why.

For a while now, I keep coming back to the same question.

Am I keeping up with this pace?

Not so long ago, being a software developer felt like a reasonably “safe” bet. Demand was everywhere, and skilled people were valued for it. I had carved out a niche for myself in the strange world of blockchain, and I was confident in my ability to manage projects, coordinate teams, and see goals through to completion. There was an unspoken belief that if I kept sharpening my craft, I’d be fine — more than fine, even. Then, somewhere along the way, that belief started to crack.

AI began writing code. At first, simple functions. Then, before long, fairly complex logic — done in minutes, where a junior developer might have spent a full day. A few months later, given a well-structured brief, it could take a project from spec to completion on its own. What I felt watching that wasn’t fascination. It was a quiet, unsettling anxiety.

I always knew technology moved fast. That wasn’t news. But this was different. It wasn’t about learning a new framework or picking up a new language. The act of writing code — the act of building something — was itself losing its edge. The skills I had spent years accumulating were being commoditized, and fast. And commoditized skills, in the end, get replaced.

So what kind of person was I going to be in this world?

Something Big Is Happening. AI is changing the world.

Even after years of explosive growth, perspectives on AI remain starkly divided.

On one side, people still dismiss it based on their experiences from 2024, saying, “I tried it, and it wasn’t that impressive,” or “It still has a long way to go.” On the other side, however—especially those on the front lines—people are trembling in silence. They may even be feeling a sense of dread (I find myself leaning toward the latter). They are saying, “This has moved beyond being just a tool,” and “The rules of the game are changing completely.”

Over the past few months, I’ve come to see this gap not merely as a difference in opinion, but as a dangerous signal stemming from an “asymmetry of information and experience.” The gap between tinkering with a free chatbot and witnessing the performance of the latest paid models in a business context is now a chasm—they are effectively different worlds.

The piece I’m introducing today is an essay by Matt Shumer that lays bare this inflection point. As an AI founder and investor, he warns us about the reality of the “massive wave” we are facing as of February 2026, with a tone that is both specific and urgent.
