Sorry I should have been more clear, the title was based on a very popular post from a few days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40105121 I don't hate the industry, I am a PM and work with engineers daily but look

Mostly time and mental capacity with already demanding job to be honest. I enjoy programming so much that I'd love to do it full-time, just not in a corporate.

You can tell by the outrage every single time the new MBA/MBP model comes out.

Interesting! Thank you for that. I don't plan to become an "employed" dev - just want to build my own projects :) Curious what part of the world that is? I know in Japan Rails is big.

Yeah, I think the safe option for employment is React. I would have picked up Rails, but I am not well-versed with Ruby despite knowing about the productivity of the stack.

I am quite far from ML :) My app is just a few external APIs - Fetch audio - transform to text - let users edit - save and publish via a form - send to another external API

Yep, seen this going quite a bit: - Server side framework (Hono or ElysiaJS) - HTMX / Hyperscript, Alpine Seems simple enough, but still not a lot of batteries so you kind of start building from scratch every time.

A lot of people going into entrepreneurship because of unemployment and its a good enough reason for them to build a successful business. If it doesn't show survival and problem solving instinct, I don't know what is and not sure

"irreparable damage to my career." Means I care too much what others think of me - which is not a great sign. The most interesting companies I've seen are hiring former founders and have open roles - because they know you are

Interesting, what streaming taught me when discovering new music is to skim and listen to beats / rhythms. I can pretty much tell in a few seconds whether the song is a banger, medium - worthy of adding to liked, or not enjoyable by my
