I made an iOS app. It is a metronome and tuner in one screen, useful for me learning violin, so I can play a scale at 60bpm and check pitch. The tuner has to eliminate the tick of the metronome.

I can publish to iOS store if anyone is interested or share source, but you can vibe code your own in an hour for a couple bucks.

Yes. I can try turn that off but I really prefer no transparency

Why is it acceptable for front end code to be of lower quality than the rest? Your software is only as good as the lowest quality part.

I bought my first house for 650k (Brisbane) just before covid. It’s now worth about 1M. 350k appreciation in ~4 years - bonkers. Glad I got it then since I probably wouldn’t be able to buy it now.

You can still get a place in the 700k area but it’s a lot further out, a lot older and will likely need a lot more work. That said many in our generation inherited the boomer attitude of big house and big backyard - I think expectations need to change, but negative gearing really needs to go.

I made a few courses on Udemy and wrote a book, over a few years net about 20k, super cool! Relative to how much time went into it I probably didn’t actually make that much money but I had a great time and it feels fantastic to make some money on my own initiative

I would not get too concerned about AI entirely replacing you - focus on getting a job and learning how to code without just asking ChatGPT for code and copy pasting it blindly. You should definitely use AI tools, but only to help you learn or to do something you already know faster, not as a crutch.

ChatGPT and friends is definitely a good tool to get snippets, like Stack Overflow, just make sure to understand what you get, just don't copy / paste blindly.

You could try Cypress, it has a component testing solution. It's not for everyone, but the way Cypress works, is it will auto-wait for your assertion to run, so you don't need the whole async/await.

No solution is perfect! I see this as more integration / component testing than a true unit test.

I noticed this too, I find 4.0 is still better for giving me what I ask for.

I have majorly had this issue since having kids particularly.

I couldn’t cope, so after a lot of soul searching, I found I just had to de prioritize things. I accepted there are some things I’d love to do but just aren’t as important, high enough ROI, etc. Hard pill to swallow.

I have thought about it - I talked to many of my friends in trades. They are all jealous of how good I have it. Most of them are earning ~70% of what I do, often spend ~2 hours commuting, hard on the body, risk of injuries... maybe you can transition to a orthogonal field in software to change things up?

Not OP but a big part of a doctor's job is clinical notes. Typing is slow, talking is fast. Less time spent taking notes == more time with patient.

I found Song of the Cell a bit underwhelming. The Gene really was fantastic - I think he ran out of steam a bit with Song of the Cell. The majority of the cell related history is also contained in The Gene.
