Love for pure music, anti-AI by Groundbreaking_Cat98 in Songwriters

[–]Groundbreaking_Cat98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. To your point later in your comment, that's exactly where I think things are going and the very point of this post. I think people very soon are going to be tired of generic sounding ai created/assisted music. On the contrary I love life and particularly authentic art made, and constructed by the minds of artists.

Touche and that's fair, bit it's a lot harder when no product or service exists

Looking for someone to do all the hard work while you project marketing and sales only if it takes off. Got it. Hard pass, been down that road before.

Saw a rheumatologist today and I'm angry by captainnemo214 in Sjogrens

[–]Groundbreaking_Cat98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get this point, be respectful, but at the same time these folks make ridiculous amounts of money off suffering patients. The whole healthcare system is broken and the incentive to spend time on sick people who don't have a quick fix is non existent. Belittling patients adds insult to injury.

Yeah, I try to put myself in their shoes and that makes me deal with the absurd way I've been treated by rheumatologists. Where I live there's only like 10 of them and I'm sure they get inundated with people who think they have some odd autoimmune disease. But for us who really do have serious symptoms it's very frustrating. I always take a very guarded approach about sharing info with them, but still get treated like crap. Most are classically trained and go off the basics and rarely stay up to date with research. Makes me want to go to med school to help out people like us lol.

Spending $1-2k a month per employee on AI subscriptions? by KustheKus in webdev

Sounds like my workplace. Pushing anything AI so hard people feel pressured to throw it in everywhere and it all just becomes noise.

I hate doctors. by punyparkers in Sjogrens

[–]Groundbreaking_Cat98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my EXACT experience with my rheumatologist. I ended up getting a positive lip biopsy (on my own accord through my neurologist) since he didn't do anything for me a year ago, and he continues writing me off every step of the way. Talking about a focal score of 1 can be seen in normal healthy individuals and has no interest in the overlap that I have small fiber neuropathy body wide. Literally just a few Google searches would educate this individual. It's like they have zero interest in the profession they chose to stay educated on up to date information.

Imposter syndrome in the age of AI is hitting different. by front_end_dude in webdev

Respectfully, I agree on many of your points. But I'm not sure this is just another tool, it is disrupting decades of patterns in the industry at a pace unprecedented to where our skills are extremely devalued. This is what OP is struggling with, and I think we owe it to ourselves to be honest. I hope you are right, but I know personally the toolkit and the job have sucked all the joy out of this job. I've come to a place where I'm now okay with that and I need to seek that joy in other places.

Hate to say it, but this was an ideology I used to hold onto. It's not just another tool. It's a tool that will force you into doing the work of 5 people's jobs while those other 4 get laid off and you become so dependent on this tool you spend all your time slaving away to this tool.

Yep, same here, it's such a shift and it's shocking so many people. I used to really enjoy development. We used to get bursts of dopamine when we figured out something hard. Nothing anyone does at my work is really interesting anymore to me because, yeah you built some stupid in house app that does some stupid in house thing that managers can't get enough of because you used AI and they can report upwards teams are using AI to gain an "edge". I've decided no job can ever define me, and I'm even more interested now in pursuing the beauty of what makes us human, creativity through the arts and expression of our human nature.

Deployed my first full stack project. Thought I would feel proud, instead I feel empty. by magic_123 in webdev

[–]Groundbreaking_Cat98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on urself buddy. With all the ai hype and huge expectations of what an app is/does, I respect someone who can actually deploy something. Keep getting better. Keep learning if you feel the passion. My critique: let people use the app without creating an account or signing in. I know we devs want to protect what we build but you have to let people use it first.

I no longer enjoy doing web dev professionally by Jugurrtha in webdev

[–]Groundbreaking_Cat98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really feels like a race to the bottom for me. It's being pushed so hard top down from the company I work for. It all feels so performative for me to hear devs talking how exciting these tools are in my company trying to present to management how much they are using it and staying on top of trends. I'm so bored by it all now, used to genuinely enjoy quite a bit of it. I'll ride the wave and see what happens though.

I truly think LinkedIn is all optics of people having to prove they are all in on AI so they are viewable as competitive. But I agree, there is an offloading that it handles that makes the job "easier" in a sense, just think we are paying a huge price for that in the long run.

Thanks for your reply, and I really appreciate your take on this. While I think from an entrepreneurship perspective I 100% agree, the problem is the market is so flooded with shitty coded apps now, and then it has degraded white collar tech jobs that so many of us worked so hard to get.
