I never thought it would happen to me. I never wanted to ever touch the stuff but when a close friend I trusted with my life introduced me to crack cocaine he said it wasn't as bad as i thought. The fuck it isn't. Ive been hiding this addiction for 3 years now and I just know my life is so close to crashing down into nothing because I cant stop using this nigger drug. Ive always said it was for niggers and I admit im basically a nigger now. Any advice on how I stop smoking this shit between all the deserved insults would be appreciated. I need to get a grip and I can't believe ive managed to hold my life together this long.. but I can feel the rocky bottom fast approaching and im desperate to stop. This is absolutely a cry for help.
My background is now exactly 20 years full time programming. I'm currently a senior developer on a good income.
And I am posting this to tell of the change.
The latest ai model, claude sonnet 4, plus visual studio code agent mode. Has made software developers obsolete.
It can code more in an hour than i can in a week. Trust me, i did not want this to be true. It aggrieved me to see years of study so casually outshone.
What does the future hold? Developers will migrate into "AI editors " roles or be sacked. Running multiple AI at once. Relegated to system architects and supervisors.
So seniors like me are in a good place. Intermediates and juniors are fucked.
My prediction is that we will witness many thousands of developers laid off. 1 senior will do the work of an entire team.
The market will get flooded with new saas built in weeks as opposed to years it took competitors.
I have begun my transistion from the dead industry to the new. I recommend all fellow upgoat devs start immediately to do the same.
I'm not sure people understand how great it would be if Israel collapsed. It has been the sanctuary for all the criminals around the world. So many of the people that conduct all the operations both financial and spying and military and corruption do it because they know they have a safe sanctuary in israel. If that's gone their behavior will be forced to drastically change.
It will improve the lives of everyone.
Israel existing has been the most horrible mistake the world has ever made because it gave all the most horrible corrupt criminal people a safe place to park their ass.
