File extensions and file paths being considered "advanced" is crazy to me. Modern OS's hide these by default and the lack of computer literacy here is a real problem for new devs especially vibe coders.

I'm working on moving my dev environment fully to a VM or container. Any tips / tools I should look into?
I basically never want to run npm install or compile binaries on my local machine ever again.

building todo apps is so hard these days
scaffolded a new app, tried to start it, promise error, tried to apply db migrations, could not locate the sqlite bindings file, tried to build sqlite, node gyp compile error, re-installing xcode command line tools, ETA 23 minutes

The job market is pretty bad right now but I think we'll see a bounce back within the next few years. With seniors retiring and no trained juniors / mids available to be promoted, there will be a massive skill gap that needs to be filled.

Experts are still needed to validate AI output. As a beginner if you depend on and trust AI output too much you'll never learn the skills required to validate it.
