I enter 2025 with something of a crisis in faith about tech. I’m a programmer, but I never did this because I enjoy programming, particularly. It’s a means to an end, a tool for what I *actually* care about: creating the thing I want to exist. Many programmers I know are quite happy so long as they get to write code, regardless of what the end result is, but I’ve never been satisfied with that. And right now tech seems to be at a nadir, existing more as a financial instrument than an enabler
@sinbad >financial instrument than an enabler
I saw many "programmers" who work at gov or at banks-infrastructure, even gamedevs - who do not even have PC at home - they write code only at job, and use internet only at job - not interested in "anything" related to IT... programming is just a boring job.
And even before AI - huge frameworks/comfort of corporate apps - moved many ppl from "learning" to just "using".
Now with AI - you dont need to even "use" anything - AI do everything for you.
