Kind of thinking the same thing, I want to learn rust, but have not gotten an excuse to start using it. Maybe dedicating 8-16 hours per 2 weeks could help me learn rust and do something more complex than writing hello world. I have some additional time in a month or so, so might as well try

This is something I explained to a client of mine. I do see AI as part of the Future in software development, but it won’t replace programming as it is just the most precise way to tell a computer how you want things to work.

I think / hope AI will help get rid of a lot of boilerplate code. Where you’ll have AI driven programming languages that only require you to write business logic and define architectural requirements and AI can handle all the details of how it connects, where to fetch and send the data and to do it efficiently

the community is nice.

For now

I setup my own email server, it was an absolute pain to setup, especially since I had no idea about all the little details of sending and receiving email. It was kind of fun to see everything come together

In the beginning I had a ton of email go into spam boxes, especially with gmail. Later I found out that if you don’t add the proper email headers like to: "Name Of Recipient" <email@example.com> it goes straight to the spam folder. (So you always need to provide a name)

I am afraid to touch anything now though, as it is currently very really stable (on a vpn btw)
