@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.

In some ways yes, it will distract you from the feelings you feel now, ones you call loneliness. But if you put all your eggs into one basket (a girlfriend), you'll get attached to her in unhealthy ways that will create all sorts of problems. I'd advice you to work on some other aspects of your life, you clearly crave some socialization so do that, what is holding you back in that regard? What are the ways for you to meet new friends and develop new social connections?

I think also it depends on intentions behind changing your relationship with food. If, for example you want to cut junk food because you want to lose weight to become more attractive and get more sex, I woudn't call that spiritual. Even if you do it for health reasons. They are good for survival though. But as you mentioned, that whole process can become a catalyst for self-reflection if one is cognizant enough to observe the whole process in meta sort of way to see how attachment works (to food in this case), what phases do one goes through when letting go of attachment and addiction (to food), etc. It can be a whole journey of discovery and structural growth, but it's an additional layer of work on top of actually doing work to lose weight and most people don't go that far. Most life experience can be used for those purposes for that matter.

You'll be able to question that after you go through one or two relationships, not before. In my experience, no, not even close. I'm happier when I'm single. But you need to discover that yourself, there are lots of variables that might determine if it makes you happier than you are now. I don't value marriage, kids or having my own family, I don't care about that. So being single doesn't bother me as much as someone who wants to start a family. But you need to actually investigate that in yourself, what you truly want, but again, actually being in a relationship might lead to disillusionments, so keep that in mind, don't set your mind to the answer before going through the experience yourself.
