In life, you can never be 100% ready for anything. You can never be 100% C. S. Lewis before you write your first book, or be 100% like Jesus before you turn your first water into wine. We often don't try because we feel we aren't enough. This feeling is begotten from fear - the fear of imperfection.

A hedonistic lifestyle consumes personalities and gradually replaces them with a void that can never be filled. I liken this to a black hole: the more it eats, the bigger it gets. You keep doing what harms you, but you can't stop it. It takes you to the event horizon where life has no meaning.

Some people appreciate words from a dishonest person and consider an honest person foolish. The only truth they seek is the falsity of it. But lies are similar to addictions, which also falsify reality. As Friedrich Nietzsche puts it, "...they don't want their illusions to be destroyed"

We live in a world exquisitely dependent on computing, with artifacts that range from the profoundly simple to the staggeringly complex. Nonetheless, its fundamental concepts are still within the grasp of every person touched by its possibilities.

No need to bury the lede: more developers are using AI tools, but their trust in those tools is falling.

🛑 Software engineers should stop planning their days and start planning their lives.

"When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning. You don’t know your code. You’re babysitting it". Indeed, a very good read, harsh but realistic.
This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others)
These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on.
They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.
