    I just let the Ai write all my code and spend all my time looking for the bugs it creates.

    Its not so fulfilling mentally since I dont think anymore, but sure, goes fast and lots of code is produced.

    Also its the new normal now and I think humans can only be faster if they know the domain very well already.

    Most of us are working with apis we dont know every method of by heart, so its quite slow to write code manually, even if its correct.

    Which means this entire profession will be about fixing Ai bugs by telling it whats wrong and let it retry until it works.


  • Its because people get other priorities with age. They dont care about learning new things as much, as a general rule. They have their paycheck and they value time with family or friends. The job is just a way to get money, not a choice or a passion.

    This is in contrast with young people, who often wants to show how good they are, make a career, get recognized. Believe it or not, those older people wanted that too but not anymore. They did it, but other things became more important than work.


  • I mean, its fine if you dont subscribe to my way of thinking. You wouldnt have the same thinking in a monk or a businessman. Two people cant even agree on what color they want at home sometimes.

    I dont think we will agree on this topic. For me, I see a human being as a more spiritual being than you do, with a soul and a purpose. If you subscribe to the typical western idea of humans just being animals, then I totally understand why its fine to behave in any way that benefit you (as long as it doesnt put you in trouble of course).






  • I stopped enjoying writing code completely, but its been interesting to watch everyone else who started to enjoy it MORE with Ai.

    It seems to be a certain group of programmers who always were more motivated by getting the result out the door than the experience of putting code together in a certain way.

    I suspect the era of high salaries as a programmer is over, since companies now feel they can replace people even easier.


  • Yeah im currently on a sabbatical and I dont think I will go back to working in tech.

    But ive been working with it for 25 years in different roles. Im just tired of seeing the same thing being reinvented again and again under different names.

    I dont feel excited about micro services or AI or blockchain. Its just more and more complexity all the time and its exhausting, not interesting.

    Also the culture has changed. It used to be a fun profession for figuring out how to write the code to solve something. Now its telling agents what to do, and pressure to always work hard.

    It wasnt like that before. The company needed your skills and they couldnt push or replace people very easily. Which meant they treated you well and didnt stress you.

    I mean, also look at how windows installs programs. Its like a 100 step process taking several minutes, because just putting the files where they need to be is just too simple.

    Or the uninstall program, cant just remove the files, no… Need to run full installer backwards to remove all the registry entries and even reboot the system to get rid of it all.
