Same old story, meanwhile i'm still looking for the ai. Where is the ai...

time to migrate to 4chan

4chan

My opinion, Scala is a clusterfak for luck of a better term. It was insufferable when i was learning it, so many features, so many ways to write something, some obscure syntax too.

Avoid it, Java is pretty OK I'd say.

+1 for using zero index

Most code is already garbage from the day it's written pal.

Were do you draw the line?

What if social media design is malicious intentionaly and kids are so messed up that x school can't function anymore (hypothetically).

Don't wanna dissapoint u, but 2033 will probably be the same :)

Java and it's eco isn't going away this century.

Roughly these steps.

1) find a topic you care about

2) search for foss or just oss related projects

3) read both their codebase and documentation, learn exactly how they work

It burned out from too much stress, it probably needs a career break now to travel and some therapy.

Don't worry the "ai" will replace you, just gotta be patient a little.

If this doesn't happen soon enough, use your extraordinary salaries and go buy a farm with chickens pigs etc. and start woodworking, you'll feel better i think.

Honestly, people couldn't care less.

How do you figure out anything about them? You can't really tell from an interview right?

I will choose what pays the most.

That way i can buy time in the future to work on what i enjoy or find meaningful. At least that's how i think about it lately.

Because last 10 or so years we've seen nothing but stagnation compared to previous decades.

I'm in my thirties. I might fall into the category of having trouble recognizing revolutionary technology as you say.

> They all are looking at this and saying this is gonna be huge.

It's beyond me why would anyone assume an LLM that's already been trained in most relevant and available data will just keep becoming somehow way better and smarter. I get that it has it's uses, but what do they mean by huge anyway, theoretically it could end up a huge mess too.

My guess is when enough LLM tools have been created for various use cases, until the insurmountable flaws of their nature are finally broadly realized (of course not implying there's no usefulness to them).

There is no "ai" revolution and nothing is being transformed. Please enough of this already.

You all just meant PHP really!

Well a possibility is that LLMs won't become much more "intelligent" than what they are currently.

No they shouldn't, ai will write the cowdes.

Universal basic incoom.

which moves back to the problem of companies not being able to retain talent because employees are now feeling pressured and getting "burnt out"...

Thanks for reply and for sharing your concerns.

I've been a professional since 2016, i know that doesn't make me an old timer but... when were the salaries higher compared to last couple of years?

I agree that prestige tends to decline, is that important though?

About the uncertain times you mention... there are people who think that it's just a phase and it shall pass, and they aren't all newcomers. Also, not everyone views AI as such a game changing force. There is also the case that not much really changes in this industry, I mean we're still writing bash scripts right? Of course you need to keep up to date with latest trends and I understand it could be unpleasant to do so longterm...

I think most people that are kind of burnt out start to think negatively thus reproduce the same kind of thoughts, rethinking and viewing their career as not viable anymore...

Plus there's so much negativity the last couple of months, just because the market is tight and no more easy job hunting.

Most people don't have a plan B. This could drive an increase in the average programmer age.

> The people in charge abide by the wrong principles and the way our leaders are chosen are by these same principles.

What are those wrong principles? Can you elaborate? I also feel disgusted about how companies and tech projects are run, just don't know if you're talking about the same thing.

these chatgpt questions... i mean bro, enough of this, please somebody do somethiiiin
