Thank you for answering. It's not just FOMO, I guess it's some of that, but what saddens me really, is the fact that so much of the new stuff is node-based.
Specially with all this new AI stuff. I do want to try out things, but as soon as I see that npm command, it's kind of a dealbreaker for me. I just don't want to be bothered with that :)
I know it's kind of biased, I don't really have this issue with other stacks. I have preferences of course, but not the kind of dislike I have for JavaScript on the server-side.
- gregjor 2y agoI have the same reaction to node and npm. I just don’t use it. Plenty of other tools I can make a living with. I ignore so-called AI too. I tried Copilot and ChatGPT, not a big time savings for me. If I have to carefully audit and debug code I’d rather mentor a junior human programmer than a corporate parasite LLM. Maybe I will miss out, who can tell. I have survived and stayed employable for over four decades. I get the most work from Unix/Linux and SQL expertise.
- bronlund 2y agoThank you. Good to know I'm not alone. On the other hand, we may both be old farts :D
