I’m in a similar situation. I decided after a decade to quit my job and take some time off. I might work on my own company or switch careers entirely. I’ve thought about using the time by going back to school for networking.
Thanks, I might take you up on that. I’ve mainly been in the work, kids, sleep loop the past decade so I need to find some hobbies and passion projects to work on.
This resonates with me right now. I helped build a unicorn startup over the last 10 years but feel empty and burnt out when I’m working now. I feel like I’m wasting my time in exchange for a paycheck. I recently turned in my notice, I’m going on sabbatical. I’m hoping to find my passion and follow that. Finding that is something I’m struggling with though. Anyways, great article!
That’s a great point about the frontend complexity. Picking it up now is more difficult overall but at least most of the complexity has been decided on and “stabilized” as much as possible.
Came to post something with a similar sentiment. It's going to have broad market effects when the circle dealing doesn't work out as intended. OpenAI is losing so much money every quarter that they will undoubtedly have to raise prices I would think and people may not be willing to pay them.
Have you thought about starting a company? It’s never been easier to start a company for engineers. Granted you need to have a problem to solve but those can be found.
Cursor is quite a bit better as well at not adding erroneous code. Was testing a0 and it kept getting stuck in endless loops of errors. I'm sure they'll improve but it's pretty rough right now.
In Key Takeaways the first bullet increments every second for how much faster AI is than traditional navigation. Not sure if you knew that or not. The execution time also never stops incrementing.
I use an app called Dash from Kapelli to access documentation for classes and methods. It’s a game changer, even if using a LSP. I do use copilot though.
I imagine there will be times where the LLM hallucinates or gives too many permissions. I'm sure it is still better than the try and see approach that most humans take when it comes to IAM setup. I'm just wondering if this product becomes irrelevant as Amazon Q rolls out and probably has some of this functionality baked in.
Regardless, anything to make IAM provisioning easier is worth a go as long as you verify the results using a simulator or something.
I love TipTap, easy to use and setup even with Rails. I wrote an internal gem (that I should publish) where I can generate TipTap document JSON/HTML from the Rails side of things as well.
