- mad_vill 3y agowell put. it was already a headache trying to unblock devs that went down terrible stack overflow copy/paste rabbit holes ... gpt4 only 10x that mess.
- thaway_thaway34 3y agoWell, yeah, like I said I have been using it to build several projects. My productivity definitely went up at least by a factor of 5 by a safe estimate. This is amazing, all good, yeah. But doesnt that mean companies need 5x fewer people?
- halfmatthalfcat 3y agoI don't think you should even been playing those mind games with yourself. Focus on what you can control which is leveraging the tools available to you and have some grounded perspective. There's a lot of noise. There's also a bunch of coincidental events happening simultaneously (economy, post-covid recovery, company right sizing, etc) that are obscuring things.
- thaway_thaway34 3y agohmm, actually thank you man. perhaps, you're right. I didn't see them as playing mind games with myself. I always thought of it as planning for the worst. But it is certainly a debilitating habit.
