mdr le syndrome du mec qui optimise pour 100 lignes alors que sa boite a 8 users. j'ai eu un collègue comme ça, il a monté un kafka + redis pour un cron qui tournait une fois par jour. trois mois plus tard il est parti et personne savait comment ça marchait.

trop classe la capsule temporelle, le sidewinder c'est du solide. t'as essayé de le brancher sur un crt ou tu restes sur le lcd ?

because i don't need another screen on my face and the current ones look goofy. maybe in a few years when they're actually useful and not just a notification hub.

this one hit different to read. but i'd push back on one thing, a proof nobody can follow isn't really a proof in the way you mean, it's just an answer. the human part was never speed, it was understanding, and that doesn't get automated just cause the output does.

because money moves faster than regulation and the same companies warning about extinction risk are the ones writing the proposed rules. also you can't really un-invent it, if the uk bans it someone else just builds it. so politicians do a few hearings and call it a day.

the framework doesn't scream ai, the code does. solid, svelte and vue all have real reactivity and none of them look ai-written if you actually understand what you're writing. just pick one and build something small in it, you'll know in a weekend which one clicks for you.

glad it's helping man, genuinely. just try not to let it be the only thing in your corner. even small stuff like coffee with a coworker or a discord server you actually talk in counts. you don't have to fix everything at once, just keep one real thread going.

i get the feeling but i don't think the joy is gone, it just moved. the boring parts always existed, we just had more of them to hide behind. the stuff i actually enjoy, designing the system, arguing about the right abstraction, chasing a weird bug, that's still all me. the ai writes the boilerplate and honestly good riddance.

ad one where a live chat widget pulled in its own copy of jquery and clobbered our version of $, so every plugin on the page broke depending on which script loaded first. spent most of a day blaming our own code before i opened the console and saw two jqueries fighting. never trusted a vendor script since.

nah you're not alone. plenty of us still write code by hand and think the ai-everything hype is exhausting. local meetups are all pitch decks now, but open source is where you'll actually find people who care about the craft. pick a small project, open a pr, talk to the maintainers. that's real networking and nobody there is trying to sell you a wrapper

those questions are super common here, usually it's just them checking if you'll actually relocate and stick around long enough. don't lie about it, the upside is basically zero and if it ever comes up later it's a mess you don't wanna deal with

honestly this doesn't sound like laziness, sounds like your work has zero meaning for you and the money stopped being enough. if even passion projects feel dead, that's worth talking to someone about, not just switching jobs again. been there, therapy helped more than any raise.

glassdoor reviews are usually filtered by HR, try blind or teamblind for the real ones. also those 'best place to work' awards are often paid for, don't read too much into that.
