My 1-year GitHub contribution streak is complete.

Thanks to all of you who helped make it happen ✊🗽

Doing this again for 365 days made me realize a few things. The biggest of all - AI has won. If you're a developer, you have to start integrating AI into your workflow. Google's Gemini 2.5 release in June marked the moment when AI-generated code became better than what an average dev produces. With the recent releases of OpenAI 5 (medium reasoning) and especially Claude 4.5 - it's game over. These models are easily in the top 10 percentiles.

And then - if you're not having fun coding right now, you're doing it wrong. It's such a special time to be a developer and play with the available tools.

It's all about who you're coding with and what you're building. There's so much demand for quality software that if you don't wake up every day motivated to work, just switch projects. There are plenty of great opportunities for good devs (especially in FOSS!), and more will keep coming as software continues eating the world.

It's interesting how the advent of AI has affected different programmers in different ways.

I was a hardcore coder from 1994-2021, now retired. I enjoy coding and problem solving far more than prompting and "vibe coding," but guys like me are dinosaurs. I'm so glad I got out of that business before the advent of AI tools. It's time for the next generation to take over.

P.S. Love BTC Pay by the way! Best of luck to you.

I see it as the switch from assembly to higher level programming languages. It's just more advanced compiler... sure, some skills will be lost, but new ones will open up.

Thanks for kind words on BTCPay and seems you need to fix lightning address

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I just installed LNBits' LNUrl provider and it looks like one of my nginx settings was wrong. Just tried accessing https://anon.dev/.well-known/lnurlp/anon and it seems to respond now. Let's try it again and see if you can push a sat through! Exciting times.
