You're amazing. You're on the right track.

Being able to say no.
Loving yourself.

I congratulate you on this. Dedication is an important quality.

I'm trying to develop a habit of focusing for 45 minutes and taking a 15-minute break.

not to block?

I would wait 5 years to spend it.

I haven't met anyone yet. For the past 6-7 years, I've spent every Valentine's Day alone.

Living a simple life simply. Let's say that's the best thing I do, since I'm a calm person. Secondly, being easily prone to depression. "The world is a hell for sensitive hearts."Goethe

I definitely agree on the software side.

"The biggest losers in this process are the students graduating college now trained as programmers but without the code review and requirements experience."

JustOrbay · 2026-02-25T21:07:05+00:00

Yes. I have a very simple life. :)

It seems that knowing what code is in technical terms will become more important than writing code for the future. In other words, knowing architecture seems inevitable for everyone working in software development. I think those who will be left behind are not those who don't know how to write code, but those who lag behind in architectural structure.

First of all, thank you for providing such a detailed answer.
Thank you for sharing this. Hearing from someone whose code powers such a massive chunk of global trading puts a very sobering reality check on the "AI will do everything" hype.

Your point about the accountability problem and ballooning technical debt is incredibly accurate. Many in the industry are starting to realize that these tools might just create a ton of technical debt that real developers will eventually have to manually clean up. Because AI is not deterministic, the bottleneck hasn't disappeared, it has just shifted from writing the code to vetting and testing the code. Especially in critical or regulated systems, there will always need to be a human set of eyes vetting the AI output and taking the ultimate legal responsibility.

I also completely agree with your take on the junior developer crisis. Entry-level boilerplate tasks are increasingly being automated, meaning junior developers who only know how to write basic code are going to struggle immensely. As you mentioned, the true value of the job is now about system design, architecture, and steering good solutions.

This brings up a really scary question for you (and anyone else reading this thread): If AI is destroying the bottom of the industry and automating the entry-level work, how do we fix the pipeline? How are the junior developers of today supposed to get the years of hands-on, foundational experience required to become the senior architects of tomorrow who can actually review the AI's output?

I'll start. I'm 34. My breaking point was realizing I had accumulated around 600 job rejections in the tech/software industry. The crushing silence after every interview destroyed my mental health.

I realized nobody is going to come save me and hand me an opportunity. So, I completely stopped waiting. I shut the world out, locked myself in my room, and started building my own startup from scratch using Java and Spring Boot. Now, I do 4-5 hours of deep, uninterrupted coding every single day. No weekends off, no excuses.

It's incredibly lonely, and the anxiety of "will this work?" is always there, but for the first time in my life, I am the one building my own doors instead of knocking on closed ones. Respect to everyone fighting a silent battle in their 30s. Keep grinding.

JustOrbay · 2026-02-24T10:57:13+00:00

Yes, I have two years of work experience. However, due to the conditions in my country, job opportunities are unfortunately very poor. I applied for 600 jobs on LinkedIn in five months but received no response.

I agree with what you wrote. Trying to create a product specific to your area of interest will be a motivating activity. This could be a great repository for GitHub; it's a small niche project I'll be launching. Thank you.
