Bungie announced today that Destiny 2 gets one final content update on June 9 and then active development ends. A decade in this universe ends not with a bang but with a quiet press release. Some thoughts on what was, what they broke, and what stays.
Every decade, a new technology promises to eliminate the need for experienced software engineers. Every decade, the same senior engineers get hired back at premium rates to fix everything. AI coding tools are not breaking the cycle. They're accelerating it.
Every session my AI agents start from zero. Same mistakes, same rediscoveries, same wasted time. I built a memory layer that forces them to reflect before they stop, recall before they start, and consult each other when they're stuck. The name is not a coincidence.
Every project has that one Python script nobody wants to touch. The one that syncs your local SQLite to production. The one that makes a Wookiee itch.
