The monetary system is a lie. The age of making money is over.

Stop doing things. Stop
hustling. Stop grinding.

TechLead (a millionaire) has given up.

There's literally nothing to life. Everything is fake. Money is fake. Cars are boring. Sex is boring. Food is all the same. Family is boring. Nothing really matters.

It's all about expending the least amount of energy.

Be a neet. You don't need much to live.

Nobody cares about new apps and websites anymore. Not even videogames. Look at achievement stats, less than 20% ever get past the main menu because they're scrolling Tiktok, youtube and Instagram the only currency is attention.

The only currency is attention. becoming an online grifter is the only viable financial option in 2024.

One of my friends is a complete dunning-krugered midwit who thinks he's an expert coder after working on websites and shitty smartphone apps for 2 years. He has never written a single line of code manually. Everything is filled in in the IDE. The rest is literal stackoverflow jeet copypasta.
When I showed him Terry Davis he shrugged and said it's easy to code an OS, because "code is code" (that's his mantra). He also never stops humblebragging about how his retarded company takes him to restaurants and other dumb shit.
At first, I was happy for him that he was advancing in life, but now after all his D-K bullshit I can't wait for the dumb piece of shit to get rugpulled by AI.

He recently visited a "coding" conference where the presenting guy mogged the whole audience by doing it all with muh AI right in front of their faces. He said the whole audience was cringing at how "bad" the code was. Lmao. They're all so fucking stupid and myopic.
Just 3 or 4 years ago none of this was remotely possible, and they still don't see the writing on the wall.

This. Pretty much came to this conclusion a few years ago and bet the farm on BTC with low 6 figs. Now it's nearly 7 figs and I don't plan on cashing out until peak bull, then buying back in the bear market, since and repeat. I'm debating just quitting my job and living off small amounts of btc I sell every month to pay rent or taking a loan against what I have. Not sure if I should do that when I officially hit 7 figs or wait until 8 figs.

Depending on what stack you were working with, it kinda was with how framework libraries were set up. I see LLM's as just the next step in the framework clusterfuck, now instead of learning the framework's syntax you're instead gonna need to learn prompt engineering since the generated code still has to be described in a very specific way so that it does exactly what it needs to.

I don't think that this time will be different, but after seeing how hard bitcoin underperformed last cycle (or at least underperformed based on what people were expecting from the rainbow chart, whose lines have since been redrawn to hide the fact that it was wrong) I do think that diminishing returns each cycle from this form of investing are coming, especially with how hard the government is trying to regulate it. I'm surprised we're getting another cycle at all after how much negative sentiment the public got about crypto from the last cycle, especially with how aggressive it is with things like the ETF approvals and BTC getting an ATH before the halving.

Right, putting together plausible consecutive lines of code is part of being a dev, and it's something good LLMs can do some of the time, but it's still missing a whole pan of system architecture and design.
Granted, I haven't seen serious efforts to solve that yet, as everyone's still having too much fun playing the "let's see how far guessing the next token can take us" game, which creates ever-more alien systems that produce increasingly complex programs without spending any time looking at the bigger picture and breaking it into smaller tasks first like any carbon-based code monkey would.
So yes.. software devs job aren't in danger yet. But it's not a crazy stretch to imagine human-level coding AIs popping up in a few years, effectively destroying the job market for junior devs and then slowly raising the water level until all but the most senior architect roles drown into it.

Yes, that's a problem.
Historically, the elites don't spontaneously give away stuff for nothing. It requires government coercion to balance things out and shape society into something that generally benefits everyone.
The corporations and their owners grumble about it, but they understand that having many people able to buy their stuff creates a bigger market for their products and services, so they put up with it.
But many of the tenets of capitalism kinda just fall apart in a post-scarcity, post-labor society, where there are few self-interest rational reasons left for the wealthy to invest into the broader society.
In that picture, government coercion no longer comes with a carrot promising more customers or more useful labor. It's just taking from the wealthy and providing nothing back to them.
And maybe that's what needs to happen if we don't see mass genocide as a viable solution. But somehow, it's not going to be an easy sale, least of all with our culture of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
