My thoughts as well. In the BC woods is only a question of when the next forest fire will come.

I think it’s more likely the Democratic party collapses.

They can’t seem to find a single thing to unify on.

Thank you.

Developers like you are few and far between. I find it painful when others devs constantly re write working code, instead of moving forward. It’s so easy to trash what is there. Very few have the maturity to work with existing code without complaint.

We are much worse off when measuring the amount of time it takes to hit milestones.

At what age are people moving out, having children, buying a home, retirement?

The age for all of this has gone up massively. Because it takes much longer to earn enough money to afford to do these things.

Winters in Calgary regularly go to -20c at night with periods of -30 to -40c.

How will we able to heat our homes? I can’t imagine how much more electricity it would take to replace national gas, it could be many times our current electrical production.

Also there are a ton of working programers that have some experience in cobol from school.

But everyone knows it’s a dead end. So yeah they need to pay very well to get the fixed they need.

In almost all other countries the rich use the government to keep competition out. All under the banner of national pride.

In Canada we lock out all foreign investment in lots of areas.

I need to checkout some of these low / no code tools to see if anything is new since I last checked.

In the past I have found that as soon as a server push action is required things break down pretty fast.

IE display alert at a certain time but not if the user has focus in a text field. Show an message indicator instead.

If find it interesting that divorce is not mentioned. The 70 year olds today are the first major wave of divorce.

It’s hard hear an older generation talk about duty and responsibility now, when 40 years ago they divorced to have a happier life.

Glad to hear that situations like my own are not uncommon. Most of the people I work with before Covid I have never met in person.

I call it the mainframe/desktop cycle.

The 90s was peak desktop. Everything was on the local hard drive.

Now everything is back on the mainframe(cloud) i fully expect it to cycle back to the desktop in some form. (we just won’t call it that)

Women are paying a high price in the online dating world. It’s preying on their weakness the same way porn does for men.

Most women don’t want to sleep around and have a large number of partners. But tinder leads them to believe that they can find an unrealistic partner. And they get hurt by the small percentage of men that play the online dating game well.

Women need a lot more data and time to evaluate a potential partner before initiating contact.

Absolutely, with the productivity gains I wonder if the world will need less developers.

Thanks for asking.

Honestly I would like to be in the office as little as possible. I get knowing a person face to face has value, but having a fixed schedule of this would feel artificial and more draining.

That is totally cool with me. As long as I would be able to be fully remote in the same company.

What I need for that is high quality audio and video for meetings.

Do you think that is possible?
