Sibling comment didn't elaborate, but I think they might be onto something.

It happened to me personally - LLMs and agentic coding tools enabled me to pick up old side projects and actually finish them. Some of these projects were in the drawer for years, and when Sonnet 4 released I gave them another try and got up to speed really quickly. I suspect this happened to many developers.

Something AI has done for Video.js is allow us to set our sights higher, with the about the same size team. Specifically aiming for idiomatic components and patterns for each popular JS framework (React, Svelte, Vue, React Native), not just web component wrappers (though I still love web components on their own).

Absolutely the case for me. Small fun projects that would take a few hours to round off a feature can now be done in an hour. Why wouldn't i finish it off?
