Dude let me share my plan: go build something for yourself, a modest bootstrapped business. If you want to keep being an employee, you'll see your job and other people jobs getting more and more replaced by AIs. Bosses hyped to put AI in the coffee machine. Clients asking to add ChatGPT to their wordpress site.
Either you go build something you want, an island where code doesn't talk back, or leave tech altogether.
I am saddened that I don't even recognise this place anymore. It's not Hacker News anymore, it's AI news. It's starry eyed engineers jumping over each other ready to sell their metaphorical soul. Even I, the Luddite, can't seem to talk about anything else than this bloody thing.
My current plan is to build a small business and retire in the middle of the woods somewhere. Do some Lisp coding while the rest of the world is dancing around their new idol.
/rant, send me an email if you wanna rant about it as well, and discuss your concerns.
