  • There are outliers but it’s the simple truth. Consistent exercise makes the vast majority of people feel better in almost every way. Humans aren’t built for a sedentary lifestyle.

    If you’re hating exercise you should reevaluate your approach. There are tons of ways to make it fun.

    If you’re getting chronic pain after exercise you should reevaluate your approach. It’s easy to injure yourself if you’re doing it wrong.















  • You’re certainly not the only software developer worried about this. Many people across many fields are losing sleep thinking that machine learning is coming for their jobs. Realistically automation is going to eliminate the need for a ton of labor in the coming decades and software is included in that.

    However, I am quite skeptical that neural nets are going to be reading and writing meaningful code at large scales in the near future. If they did we would have much bigger fish to fry because that’s the type of thing that could very well lead to the singularity.

    I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself. It’s reasonable to be concerned that employees will need to use these tools in the near future. That’s because these are new, useful tools and software developers are generally expected to use all tooling that improves their productivity.
