That’s true, we also have the unfortunate situation that we don’t have any relatives that could support us. All grand parents live at least ~5 hours away. Moving isn’t really an option for my wife because of her work currently.
Really sucks…
The weird thing about this is, a few of these things are rather hard once you have kids. Don’t know the last time when I slept alone in my bed or had a slow morning. But well, you get other things in return, like the pure love of you children so it’s fine haha.
Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.
I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.
I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.
Modern Java isn’t that bad, and with new developments like the graalvm and cloud native builds, or what they are called, the footprint of a modern Java app can be comparable to an golang app.
Modern Java kinda has the same image problem as modern PHP. Not saying is all great, but it sure has seen quite the improvements in the last years
It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.
I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.
I see it as a win, I love refactoring bad code . Just feels so nice afterwards.
Especially when you can remove thousands of lines of duplicated ui code.
That’s so much better than writing new code
Oh yes, especially with a red wine based sauce. I can’t wait for autumn and winter. ( my wife thinks is weird to it when is warm outside)
Or the good old:

Well, long before that the device would stop working. More important would be improved repairability. My current phone is in year 4 and the hardware is starting to die. But I can’t replace the battery or other parts that start breaking. 20 year software support means nothing without that hardware lasting that long.
In that regard I think 7 years is already plenty. If they pair that with easy to replace batteries and screens that would go a long way.
