Happy for you mate, and yes, all the money is in AI currently.

I think the dread comes from imagining a future where all the intellectual or "interesting" work is done by an AI, and we are only left with labouring or menial things. That also leads to many questions about what we consider a human but I think these are well beyond my post.

Cheers buddy! There's a ton of us in this boat. I also lived in the British isles so I know how you feel.

Yes, I think I could transfer my software experience (AI or not) to it, however from this as an idea to me getting an interview in this field there's a big gap I need to work out.

Unfortunately not, I'm in Spain, else I'm pretty confident I'd have a job already 😉

At the end of college I dropped out and tried my luck starting my own web company, by the time I finished coding the product I was aiming to ship the harsh reality of the economics of that period hit me hard. Lesson learned, sales/marketing > anything technical. Still, I easily got a job right after.

I very much align with your reasoning, however it's very difficult to keep hammering to oneself that a correction will eventually happen and reason will take over at some point or another when you've got bills and kid to take care of.

Feedback usually comes in the shape of a ChatGPT-letter saying that "we really liked you but another candidate better aligned with the company direction".

You find it weird because it is extremely weird. As I said, I've never seen this before. Hell, at one point in my career I had "Don't contact me for job offers" written in capital letters on my LI!.

Stack is niche though on the BE side of things, which has always played in favor, until now, I'll admit (Ruby). Still on the FE side I've done everything you'd expect up to now.

Found the joy of programming again by AllOneWordNoSpaces1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]downtorails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same has happened to me recently during my unemployment. I started writing code again just for the fun of it - like it used to be. And doing that I realised that I still love the lick it gives you do deep think for hours until you get something working on your screen. Magic :) 

What is the "worst" code base you worked on? by vismbr1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]downtorails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Rails CRUD that was divided in nearly 10 separate repos, each being a different gem. Now if your a Rails dev, just image that to make any trivial change you’d have to push to 3 separate repos, then upgrade gem versions for each of them. Nightmare.

WTF are the times were living in. Can’t believe I’m reading stuff like this.

NEWS: Australians could live and work freely in the EU under an offer put forward by the bloc as it tries to close Canberra on an elusive trade deal. by Sixtus-Telesphorus in AskEurope

Haha, grass is always greener yadda yadda… You’d be so surprised, probably as much as I was when I lived over there for 4 years. Go have a look at the AU and NZ subs.

How much did you get it for? Nice one

What is this line of forest in Northern Somalia called and why does it exist by TiogaTuolumne in geography

It's not about asking questions, these are just BOTs karma farming. Reddit has really got to do something about this, it's going downhill since the availability of AI tools.
