We ended my last long term thing with a girl last year and since then I've realized that I was craving single life, so right now I'm enjoying it I don't envision myself having family or kids, so I don't really care about dating much these days. I have friends in 30s that are in urgency because they want to start a family soon, but since I don't, I don't feel any urgency. And also, at this point in my life I'm hyper focused on other things I'm building or wanna build, so I don't have much time for relationships. Also they take emotional work as well, and I need my stable drama-free life at the moment. Relationships are source of drama (maybe not all, most). I can enjoy that, but not always. As for the future, I'm not really sure. As you mentioned there are lots of fantasies around intimate relationships and you need to kinda be willing to indulge in those, which I don't wanna be doing currently.

I have to agree with this. But also we can't deny that there's a deep conditioning in most of us to mate. All the cultural stuff that we add on top can be ignored, but there are some cravings that can't be ignored that easily. What do you think, what forms of relationships would you like to engage after all that? You said casual dating is kinda lame, what does that leave you with?

@Ulax oh my god 😬 But to be honest, it takes balls to be so shy / wierd and still go to some TV program and expose yourself to the whole world. Oh I didn't know the guy had a redemption kiss:

What's your plan? You're gonna transition into a different industry, or?

@Raze Dude, did you just really compare breathing to relationships?

Yes we're moving to a higher abstraction. But it doesn't mean that knowing lower abstractions isn't necessary anymore. It still is important to make sense of the output or else we'll get sloppy apps. But not sure for how long will it be like that. It's like how we transitioned from lower abstraction languages (assembly, etc) to higher abstraction ones (python for example). But maybe this time it's different, I don't know. But surely industry is changing.

They already do actually. Still needs my input and reviewing output though, that's where I come. Thanks, will check it. My problem is that I have skills to build whatever I want, but I don't know what to build. I don't want to lunch another AI slop app. My idea was to spend more time on places like reddit, scanning what problems people have and try to figure out technical solutions. Haven't got it to it yet though.

Yes, that's my experience cause we're working on a single big project that's been in development for multiple years. I do this with my own side-project, which is much more fun than a company one because I get to play around a lot.

Maybe to experience more vulnerable part of yourself? Being in an intemate relationship forces you to be vulnerable. Even attraction phase forces you that, to face life and survival proactively. It's not a medium for expanding consciousness, but there's survival value in it. It can come with a lot of drama though, which is the reason I don't date at the moment, but I can see some value in it. Not the highest value for sure. Do you only do things in life that supposedly increase your consciousness?

Don't you have like an existential fear around your current software engineer role? My day-to-day job became code-reviewer basically. And I don't even know what to learn to stay relevant in the field, since latest models are so capable. So far this reviewer role is valuable, but not sure how long will this last.

Did you try Fable or Astra? I was using Fable last month till I had some discount or extended limit they had, after that it gets limits so fast. They released Opus 5.5 this week and it's pretty good. But still doing code-reviews with Fable.

Currently the most latest models do great job of doing mostly anything that I need, but still require code review. In a serious project, you still need people but those people need to be highly experienced and have skill of understanding AI output. But it's true that if there was 10 developers in a team, today 5 or less developers with AI will do the same or better work. I'm not sure about the begginers, it's really hard to get into the market. But if you somehow manage to, contentrate on skills that are more structural, like architectural skills more then manual coding skills because that's clearly being automated. But who the hell knows what will the state of the industry be in 5 years. Nobody knows.
