  • Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.

    I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.

    All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.

    Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.

    Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.

    I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.



  • You know why the code is wrong because you have the experience to see where the issue is and what it is.

    If you’ve learned coding with LLMs from the start, you won’t acquire the experience needed to be able to tell what is wrong.

    I’ve worked with a client that tried to generate code for a HCI bluetooth device, trying to recreate the full Bluetooth stack, instead of picking the right product from the start, with a working stack.

    And that was a client that had technical knowledge, just not for Bluetooth and HCI.

    And if you try to tell the AI what’s wrong, it will create bullshit code until it kinda works, adding more issues along the way.

    I’m sure that AI will replace coders one day, but LLMs aren’t AI and they are neat ready to write decent, complex code.





  • This is only my experience, so take what follows for what it’s worth (not much).

    I have been in the same situation as your partner (though I had sex with my partner more ofte, but still way less than before medication).

    Simply put, I was ashamed of my low libido and not in a good headspace even with my medication( which was supposed to help).

    I was so ashamed that I didn’t want to initiate sex with my partner. It was not rational, but that is how I felt at the time. And I would sometime watch porn so that I could get the dopamine I would get from sex, without the shame.

    I know it won’t make you feel better, but hopefully you can have a different perspective on how your partner might feel and get, hopefully, a new track to find a solution to your problems.

    Also, there are some medications that can help with libido (Wellbutrin if I remember correctly). Might be worth it for your partner to check with his doctor.



  • When my son was born, I had 3 months of parental leave.

    The first month was spent just recuperating from work and taking care of my first one. After the first month of sleeping better and not having the stress of work, I started esting a lot better and training and lost 50 pounds in 2 months because I had the time and energy to cook well.

    Over the last two years, I’ve gained back 30 pounds because my 2 years old doesn’t sleep and my job is stressful.

    So I feel what you said.


  • My reason asking is because there are other scheme I feel are more adequate for non relational data, but this isn’t my domain and I barely dabbled in that, so that’s worth absolutely nothing.

    But your point about the data being used later makes a lot of sense and I didn’t think about that. Down the road, someone will ask you to create links to your data and if you already have a DB, then you don’t have to change the whole infrastructure to accommodate that. You can create new schemes and already have a somewhat functional access to it.

    Thanks for the input.
