    I’m losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.

    I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.

    Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another… like crypto or clouds or SaaS… but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we’re just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.

      At this point, I think it’s required to have a sort of alternate identity online and keeping anything private, photos of yourself and other information just offline. Except for government stuff, which requires your real identity.

        I mean yeah, I selfhost everything, but I hate that i have to learn and support the most useless shit ever just to earn a living.

        It used to be fun being a dev, now I’m just repeating the same warning phrases about technologies.
