i think we’re heading into a second renaissance. a stretch where people start caring about craft and quality again instead of chasing volume.
you can feel the shift already. people are tired of ai slop flooding their feeds. there’s this quiet desire to go back to something simpler, where things were made with intention instead of pushed out for the sake of output.
tech has given us endless tools, and weirdly, that made things feel worse and more bloated. recently i was clearing out some old stuff and found my old memory card for my ps2. 16mb was all the space on it. nowadays that's not even enough to start a simple html project for some. there's now too much dependence on everything except your own instincts. instead of creating with what you have, we chase perfection through plugins, models, presets, etc.
the next wave imo will lean the other way. more constraints. fewer crutches. using older methods or limited tools to make something that actually feels human.
taste, quality, precision, and creativity are going to become the most valuable currency we have.
