Although I do understand the analogy being made here. But I suspect OP much like myself is hoping for concrete suggestions. To my mind argument is Software Jobs will shrink and only the very elites will be valuable aka the recent Meta's 10s of millions of offers. But for the rest of average Joes it will be harsh job market or even non existent. So what can the average programmer do , concretely.

I for one am afraid and this keeps me awake at night, the general take on HNers always seems to be oh you are only doing mundane tasks, AI can't do what I do. Which is partly true, but claude code has improved leaps and bounds almost exponentially at least from my subjective usage. My solution is to just save and invest aggressively and grind DSA to get a higher paying job as I don't see myself in the elites that these discussions are full of. I really am a mediocre prgrammer

Hey looks super interesting, would definitely try it out. Having worked in a similar VC funded big Api Dev Platform, would love to hear your thoughts on how the team is planning to address eventual enshittification due to VC pressures.

Hey, looks like a great fit for me. I have led teams to $1M MRR, owned the entire infrastrucutre for more than 60 microservices. delivered lots of large scale projects from scratch.

However the application form asks for current and expectation without mentioning the budget which to me at least is a negative signal.

After having implemened many complex distributed state machines I started thinking along the terms of how do abstract away the engineering part of it and provide a platform for writing business logic. Technical term for it is workflow orchestration. You might have heard of AWS Step functions.

Check out Temporal, it's open source and lot of architecture videos exist. I've been trying to experiment with it to rewrite my old projects using it.

Have used this feature, works exactly like this. However it is a hit or miss, most of the incoming recruiters/companies are far below my standards. The best way to use LinkedIn is to send out requests to engineers where I want to work and ask for referrals. It's important to do your homework on the role, company, and person. Most of the people are happy to refer if you do this.

Slack or Discord? 2 years ago

I've always been intrigued by the promise of Matrix, have tried it out multiple times in a span of 5 years. I see it getting adopted by a few open source communities as well, and last I checked they were working on a golang implementation of the core server. However everytime my issue has been it's very slow. Curious what do you use it for ?

Great, which sport was most exciting? I have just gotten into adventure sports have done scuba diving, white water kayaking, paragliding so far. Really want to learn skiing, next.

Interesting, I was mainly interested in genomics/brain imaging etc. Also curious about how/if medicines are tested against different cells/protiens, as far as I know they bind to specific molecules only. How does one figure that out?

Bored of writing traditional software, want to work on the applied science stuff. ex: like Large Haldron Collider, or genetics ,or sport biomechanics labs etc.

Will ping you on discord, would love to have a chat. I've just dipped my toes in philosophy reading Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy.

Hey, I would like to learn "futuristic software" from you or just have a chat. I am a career software engineer who admittedly has very little knowledge in concurrency. Any recommendations to learn it?

Great thought, it's quite hard to find new friends as you grow old. I've always been curious about computational biology, care to elaborate more? My interests are literature, philosophy and sports(mostly running and badminton).
