Super tired today. Must be the fall. Must be the rain. Must be the stretch of 5 meetings back to back the whole work day. Must be everything thatโs on my mind. Tomorrow itโs a new day!

Sure, thatโs what I do. Iโm not sad for it, itโs actually great to be able to put my very small dent in a few things. But exhausting it is nevertheless.

Glad you're still a part of it, it's all performing, really.
My meetings were useless. I was the youngest guy there, didn't have much to do but practise my doodling.

Started reading exactly that and man it's mind-blowing.
He's not anti-tech, he's anti big-company-culture-capture. Really insightful for being written in 1998. What I appreciate is he looks at a very wide view of tech, not just modern silicone.

It's not clear, based on personal experience, how long - if it all - the software development field will value devs who actually enjoy the work. Most people I know are producing mostly AI work and there's an obvious skill decline that's resulted from it. 1/?
But does it matter if your boss doesn't care? Or if their boss doesn't care? If the paychecks keep coming who cares? What's the point of choosing the mountain if the "joy" just means more hours on screen that could have been spent elsewhere? 2/?

It never did. Before AI people did webslop in node.js, before that people were slopping in Java.
AI changes surprisingly little.
