Last week, I ran an experiment. Instead of building incrementally, I described exactly what I wanted to ChatGPT 5.1 Pro to draft a prompt, and then asked Claude Opus 4.5 to deliver it in one shot.
The result changed how I think about about speed when working with AI.

People are starting to use AI not just to think, but to feel. When something hurts or feels uncertain, it is easy to offload that discomfort into a system that instantly turns it into clarity: an explanation, a plan, a message, a neatly packaged insight. It works. It feels good. But there is a hidden cost.
If we outsource emotional uncertainty too quickly, we skip the part where we actually feel it. The system digests the discomfort before we do. Over time this can make us excellent at understanding our lives but worse at sitting with the parts of experience that have no immediate answers. We get analysis instead of depth, interpretation instead of emotional endurance.
AI is powerful as a thinking partner, but it becomes risky when it becomes an emotional bypass. Some forms of growth only happen in the silence before clarity. If we replace those moments with instant interpretation, we trade long term resilience for short term relief.
This is not an argument against using AI. It is simply a reminder that some of the most important human capacities develop in the space where no external system can feel on our behalf.
I am Rashid Azarang, a systems architect and builder focused on making intelligence usable.
I design and implement cognitive systems that enable human-like interaction through AI agents.
Some recent work:
- Supply Chain Risk Management Platform — turned fragmented data into operational clarity.
- From Sync Bridge to Data Warehouse — re-architected brittle integrations into a coherent warehouse.
- Open Source Twilio SMS Dashboard — practical tooling others have since adopted.
- AWS CloudWatch Interface — lightweight logs explorer with MCP adapter.
I also maintain ChatGPT Exporter (80+ stars) and multiple MCP servers/agents.
Previously, I helped scale a COVID-19 testing platform from ~1k to 100k+ tests per month, serving over a million people.
I’m looking for early-stage engineering roles where frontend speed meets backend reliability, especially in real-time systems, or AI.
Agents act. Infrastructure enables. A Navigation Layer enforces constitutional invariants and improves how we improve... Doug Engelbart’s bootstrapping in code.
You know that sinking feeling when a customer says "I never got your text" and you have no idea why? That's exactly why I built Twilio SMS Tracker; an open-source dashboard that shows you everything happening with your SMS messages in real-time.
I got so excited watching these videos and going through the product page. I completely ignored the price tag without putting any resistance and I thought to myself: I'VE GOT TO HAVE THIS!
Not only that... I started to think about ways I could use this!! I pictured myself using them... I visualized it all, and then remembered when I felt this way when the Ipod was released, and then again, when the first Pebble watch was launched or maybe even, the first kindle.
Although there's going to be some strong competition in the next 1-2 years with Apple, as we all know, the "thin phone" is nothing about the phone, and all about their pathway towards wearables...
Voice recordings (or video - this device seems to be capable of both) has to be justifiable and with clear and unambiguous consent [0]. The person(s) recorded have the right to access and/or delete the recordings at any time. The retention period is "only for as long as needed... for purpose" which suggests there has to be a purpose.
who ever's downvoting my comment... You're literally trying to shut up the positive review due to your lack of empathy? WTF? This is my preference, I'm an expert in tech and I don't hold your negative views... Stop trying to control the narrative.
