Then we're all fucked by that point

Yes it's a matter of preference for the lifestyle. Figuring out what kind of lifestyle you want and then working your ass towards having it is one of the best things one can do him/herself. And there are things that radically alter that lifestyle that needs a very careful consideration, like having kids for example. That's awesome, you seem to be in a perfect position, and the core pillar (other than your innate interests and leaning towards developing wisdom) for that is financial independence that you mentioned you have. I have a full time job which pays good and isn't that exhausting but still, it robs me of many hours and physical energy daily that I would gladly devote to some other things. Also in regards to relationships, I sometimes crave it, but since I don't see a lot of value in being a social person, the cost of entering into the intimate relationship is too much. I would have to do a lot of things that I don't care about, but at the same time there are things I care about in a romantic relationship (based on the last long term relationship experience) like more development posibility, more opportunities to observe ego games and personal triggers, sex and physical intimacy, etc that I'd like to have but all that comes with drama, more social life, more social obligations, and in most cases expectation of marriage or children which I'm not interested in.

Great list, after 8+ years of manual coding and debugging, I do all those intuitively, and that makes a huge difference. That makes an LLM a powerful tool when working on a big project. I have a co-workers with much less experience (and less care for the project) and I'm always anxious and nervous about what they commit in their PR's because they don't have those intuitive skills you mentioned and can't judge LLM code which clearly needs a good judgement until merged to the codebase. But now I want to take it higher and develop further intuitive skills that's more big picture oriented and not framework specific. I've started with this book: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensive-applications/9781491903063/

That's being changed rapidly, code written by the newest models are very good actually, if you give them enough context. For me, what has changed is that automating coding part at my job allowed me to think on a more abstract level, and realizing the importance of the meta skill of architecture, which I did to some degree on the frontend side of technologies, but now technologies itself are becoming irrelevant and a good software developer needs to understand these structural skills on a much higher level, or else basic coding tasks are being automated very rapidly. That's why I'm digging into more architectural side's of things now, but hard part is that I have to do this on my free time with side-projects and books because the project at my current job doesn't have that scale and variety of problems to solve. But you have to do that somehow to evolve from just a coding monkey to someone who actually continues bringing value to the company in the AI era. I think every developer should ask him/herself what value do they bring to the table, prompting? code review? nothing more? what are other more higher-level answers to that question?

I have Honda CRV 2014 for the last 2 years, no issues so far. More recent models must be better. I also like Toyota RAV4, considering that one for the next car.

Exactly the same for me man, having family and kids will be such a survival pressure for me that I know I won't be able to do all the stuff you mentioned which I'm also passionate about. Maybe some people can, or even don't care about those things but I do to the point that I will be very miserable if I didn't have alone-time for extended periods of time. The best thing I did for myself is I started living alone at 22 and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I don't think that's because of some insecurity or that it's some coping mechanism or avoidance, I think it's just my personality, I've always been this way since childhood. So yeah, having family and kids would disrupt that. I have friends that can't stomach being in solitude. I have a friend who I was talking to about the lifestyle in general the other day and he told me that he isn't alone 98% of the times, either his wife is with him, his coworkers, etc. And he is happy about it. For me personally, that would be like hell, thinking about that gives me the same feeling I get when I look at videos of cave explorers stuck in super tight caves suffocating. So yeah, maybe family and kids it's not for some of us. I already have a nephew so I'm also on the path of becoming a cool uncle, lol.

Soo, the guy says that the reptilians and the grays were fighting in the skies, reptilian tic-tac shaped craft got crashed and reptilians killed US soldiers, then soldiers killed reptilians. What do you guys think about this

All of them? oh man, that sucks, sorry to hear.

Looks delicious! Is that chicken on top?

What are your thoughts on one day having a family with children? Does all this dating stuff culminate with that in your vision of your life?

Yes I rotate between buckwheat, rice, potatoes. Some mornings I eat some bread with honey for energy before exercise. I eat 90% the same food each day so planning doesn't take too much time, I plan and then follow through for 2-3 weeks, then change stuff a bit when I'm bored and repeat. I'm in the middle of caloric deficit so losing fat while building muscle, once I get to target weight I'll ramp up calories to 2.8-3k and that will let me have more variety in a diet.

Interesting. Did you develop that through practice from scratch or it that something you always could?

I remember (if I'm not mistaken) you saying in one of the older videos that it wouldn't surpirse you to see a monk levitating. What made you change your minid?
