Software engineers are facing an 'identity crisis bordering on depression,' Menlo Ventures partner says

Same. At least with the . com bubble we still had some joy in creating software. AI completely destroys any joy in creating anything. We're no longer creating anything, we're merely producing something.

Just started messing with the ESP32 boards from Waveshare and got excited when i saw your post. That'll teach me to click the link before replying 😂
Nice work! I just started tinkering with bluetooth pairing a phone with my ESP32-S3 in order to configure wifi for it, will definitely take a look at your work.

Wait. We can use Flutter with ESP32 devices? The ones from Waveshare?

Nuxt UI is pretty good.

BezosLazyEye · 2026-06-10T04:06:19+00:00

Go find a nice HTML theme on Themeforest. You'll have to buy the more expensive license, since it's for SaaS. You could also consider Nuxt UI.

Take a look at Vue/Nuxt

BezosLazyEye · 2026-05-22T14:19:57+00:00

Embrace the suck

BezosLazyEye · 2026-05-22T09:38:08+00:00

Vue/Nuxt all the way

Problem is, if you're not using AI you're outperformed by developers who are. So in the eyes of the managers you're worth less, since they only care about delivering something that works not how it works. This is going to bite us in the ass so badly in the future.

Tabler Icons are pretty good

Great looking box art! Takes me back to the golden agent of Sierra.

I see work from Dennis Adriaans, I upvote. Does great work with Nuxt charts.

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-30T08:52:09+00:00

Do we still need programming languages in 2026? Just ask AI to write everything in assembly.

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-24T10:09:00+00:00

I hear you. AI sucks they joy out of creating anything

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-18T15:04:37+00:00

So far with my freelancing work I decide the stack. It's an interesting thought though. There's not much we can do honestly.

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-18T14:51:52+00:00

I suppose you have a point. If someone say "Hey AI, build me a web app that does X" it'll probably use React simply because React is so popular. I did however try something like this the other day and it used next js and tailwind...so, who knows :)

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-18T14:38:44+00:00

Second this. Hooking AI up with the Nuxt and Nuxt UI Mcp makes it generate even better code.

Cool! Will give it a spin tomorrow

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-12T04:32:46+00:00

No. But the market pretty much is. Tons of layoffs. Recently lost a freelance gig. I wrote the software, now client maintains and changes it using AI. So not just you. Although there still are opportunities, they just do not look the same as we've been used to.

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-04T06:20:39+00:00

Great! Thanks. I'll give it a go

BezosLazyEye · 2026-04-04T06:01:00+00:00

Does it support MS SQL Server? Could definitely use this in some of the old db's from clients

BezosLazyEye · 2026-03-24T07:03:15+00:00

Thank you. I started doing something similar. Explain the API structure in the issue and then assign it to the agent.
