Perhaps someone with better insight can educate me on this matter?
Ser, your name is satoshiiii, so am I supposed to think you are the real Bitcoin creator? or are you straight up lying to other users?
As a reminder, what you are passionate about and what you do for work does not have to be the same. I would say it's best to keep it separate. Keeping it separate helped ground myself and care less about my career. At the end of the day, I can't say the last 10 years of my career was something I am proud of sharing with my friends and family. No one cares that you built a dashboard that saved the organization a million dollars; I certainly don't. People care about your passions and what drives you, and I care about working on something that I can be proud of.
My suggestion would be to just pick anything you are interested in and just go with the flow. When you get to a point where you are no longer interested, next.
Let yourself be and you'll see.
Happy to discuss more over chat or something similar. Let me know if you want to compare notes.
I would suggest you to re-evaluate your market opportunities if you are an Engineer getting paid ¥5M in Japan.
The original topic is about taking away money from the sources. Google taking your data and presenting it is taking away traffic because there is less traffic to the website of the data source due to less ad revenue.
If the product is scraping the data and presenting it on their website like ChatGPT and Google, then that's effectively the same as taking away the ad revenue from those websites because they aren't getting the impressions.
If you have a problem with ChatGPT's "scraped data", then you have more fundamental issues with how the internet is as it is today.
I don't know much about the expectations, but if you're that high level then you're probably taking risks. Sometimes those risks pay off, sometimes they don't. Moreover, sometimes you just need time in-between for inspiration or for discovery.
Any additional insight is appreciated.
Ex, when I first started, I would ask things like how do I do string interpolation in shell scripting? Now I have more questions that require considerations from different angles such as why should I use redux over react contexts? how has it been for people with large teams?
The point system also doesn't mean much. I have over 60k points from just asking basic programming questions from when I was in college.
