that's an amazing read, lots of concrete and convincing challenges; but otoh, technology is evolving at such a fast pace, maybe it is possible for breakthroughs that we couldn't imagine now to become reality sooner than we would have anticipated?

But that's not what companies expect from you, even if you owns AI. They expect you to output more, and when you do, someone else is probably out of work.

I am at the stage of life where I appreciate this wisdom and desire the practice of it, but lack the will power to not get caught up “trying to win the game”. Once a while I get anxious about leveling and compensation, overwhelmed by comparison with peers. For people who had the similar struggles but managed to overcome, what worked for you?

At the same time treating software like an art is probably not very useful. That code is (typically) not written to be looked at, but to make the computer do something useful.

FWIW you can argue the same for woodworking, a chair is typically not made to be looked at but for people to sit on. I tired to think what inherently makes writing software treated less than a craft than woodworking, but couldn’t think of any.

As someone working in tech and following along the progression of AI, I believe I have the right expectation. But still feels surreal seeing myself speaking a foreign language in my own speech style.

SQLite is superb choice as a local storage solution, you don't need a transactionality requirement to use it as a KV store.

People choose NoSQL databases primarily for scaling reasons, which is not the problem here.
