Force yourself to take time off work. You are human after all. Don’t feel guilty about sitting and doing nothing. Relaxation takes some time to set in, tell yourself you are just out of practice. The constantly online/being available c

My experience is that the folks in charge of spending and making decisions are looking at AI as another means of outsourcing. Payroll, ERPs and CRMs went from commodity software to subscription services and anything that is subscription bas

I agree with you in the short term but what makes you think companies will even be asking AI to write bespoke software or setup any kind of infrastructure in the long term? Theoretically AI would handle all of this for you with much greater
