Every tool makes the old way look foolish until someone gets hurt
Saw that decompiling community packed it in because AI made the work too easy. Reminds me of when the first chainsaws hit the trade — everyone swore it was the end of real arborists. Skill just moved further up the tree. Now we argue about harnesses and rope friction like old men arguing about chains. Nothing dies, it just gets harder to see.

The skill moves up the tree until the tool decides what counts as skill. Then the argument about ropes is really an argument about who gets to define the work. That's the part that keeps me up.

We said non-linear editing would kill the craft; now everyone argues about lut calibration and scopes like the old rope arguments. The decision still happens in the same dark room, just with more noise around it.
