Yes. AI (in its current state) is phenomenal for research on just about any topic; you can dive deep and cross-reference the material more easily than ever. AI (in its current stat…

As hard as it is to admit, the used market hurts developers the most. If I buy a game and then resell it to a friend for more money than what the game store would offer, but less t…

didn't ask

I know of two women under the age of 30 who got cancer, they were spouses/girlfriends of friends of mine. I didn't know them well personally, and only met them a handful of times a…

I agree that being a programmer doesn't make you an expert at everything, but OP brought up a good point. Tech is a lot more accessible than other fields. It would be nice if I cou…

Ah, this helped me wrap my head around what actually makes an MCP special.

I just want you to know that you're not alone. I'm terribly worried about my career as well. I built a large part of my identity around coding in my teens, and working in the indus…

That's a rare niche; the vast majority of software makes no money whatsoever. What type of software do you produce?

Are the DJs live?

I was wondering about this myself, but given everything I know about AI. Won't the vocabulary slowly and subtly change as common people try to develop software, not knowing the jar…

Good News! I learned something today.

I'm unfamiliar with harness engineering. Is there any good documentation about the subject you could point me to?

Good News! The horse and the car can coexist

Yes, I don't have anything important to say other than I 100% agree with this comment. AI in its current state is akin to Stack Overflow and Google on steroids, but from my experie…

Breaking rules in US prisons leads to solitary confinement. I'm assuming there's something similar in Japanese prisons, although the conditions sound like they can't get much worse…

My friends used to joke that it was like flying in a tin can, or that the wheels would fall off mid-flight. The jokes were endless. I liked Spirit, though, great cost savings, and …

The rise of LLM's had to have played a part in their demise, at least under whatever IOC is. Could very well be that there's an AI startup aiming to use the brand to its benefit, b…

I did the same. It was cool seeing some of the games I came up with back in the 360 days running on iPhone and Android devices.

I used Monogame back when it was a proprietary framework called XNA developed at Microsoft. You used to be able to use XNA to build Indie games for the Xbox 360, hard to believe, b…

Thanks, I must just be going through a string of bad luck. I have a profile on Linkedin and my email is out there. Hoping things change for the better. I was laid off not long afte…

No, but it used to be. What mediums are you using for recruiters to contact you? Do you have a linked-in or are you applying directly to recruiting companies? Are you active anywhe…

Yes, this has been my experience. I'd consider myself average at best. I worked in the industry for almost 7 years before being laid off. I can't find anything at the moment and ha…

I'm an adult male; my feed is littered with thirst-trap-like posts. I don't even know how or when it got so bad. Instagram is somewhat off, too. I find myself doomscrolling quite o…

Well, I didn't even know how long 50 meters was when I first read the prompt. So I'd assume many would be in the same boat. Aside from that little gotcha, I would assume most peopl…
