We need code calisthenics

We need code calisthenics. When we shift the burden to the LLMs, we start getting lazier — even with all the extra time we gain after asking Claude to do the job for us. For the first time, it's faster to write than to read, and the speed is unprecedented too. Why would I ever open Nvim again? Because your brain needs it. Train it, put the effort so your brain doesn't atrophy. The atrophy of thinking.
