I retired in 2017 and sometimes I think I got out at just the right time, or close to it. In the past 7 years we’ve had the pandemic, remote work then the clawback to the office, and so. many. JavaScript frameworks and changes. And now layoffs all over the place and having to keep up with AI to stay relevant, AI and LLMs are changing faster than React and its ilk.
Instead I now program in a great language, Elixir, working on projects that I want, and reading books that I’ve been putting off for decades.
- stevage 2y agoHuh, that's about the same time I became a full-time freelance frontend dev. I've primarily used Vue that whole time and it's been pretty good. AI has mostly been a nice benefit to - Copilot really makes writing code more pleasant. I haven't really seen any downsides to AI in my work. I'm almost always remote, and mostly like that, too.
- rsynnott 2y ago> having to keep up with AI to stay relevant This, at least for the time being, seems more a thing that people worry about than a real phenomenon.
