Got Rust running on an 8-bit ATmega328P and reading a DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor.

Demo: breathing on the sensor pushed humidity from 61% to 78%.

Next: stream the data into an Actix Web backend.

I overheard a successful business man talking to a younger one that was saying his advice was boring.

The older replied “you know what’s exciting? Poverty! Extremely exciting. Never a dull moment!”

Always remembered that.

What the HECK is going on with tech?

In the last week: Multiple cloud outages, x DMs totally broken, antigravity doesn't work, my watch is showing me 15 year old cal events, mac OS is a mess, email is spammed to hell and every nerd on here is talking like new AI is the second coming

@1thousandfaces_ Here we go again, job losses in the next 6 months
Oh 24 months now, it will definitely happen this time for sure 😁

It's been about a year since my team has fully adopted all the AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code)

And day to day I am feeling the added cruft in the code base. Unit tests are not catching regressions. Unneeded mocking, comments, are left in between. More refactoring is needed to add new features.

I find myself sitting down and rewriting files to ensure completeness, correctness, and ease for future developers more than I ever have before.

If AI is going to destroy white collar jobs first , shouldn’t we already be seeing occupancy declines in office buildings ? Particularly in big cities where large employers are primarily based ?

Or am I missing something ?

Remember the internet .com bubble? During the bubble companies hired programmers with reckless abandon in a futile attempt to get ahead of the curve. When the bubble popped they found they had over-invested in programmers and had to freeze hiring and lay them off. That lasted for a year or so.

Now we are in the AI bubble. That it _is_ a bubble is evident by the "stupid money" being paid as recruiting bonuses to AI "experts". (e.g. Meta agreed to pay a 24 year old "expert" $250M)

The effect of this bubble is a hiring freeze for programmers. Executives hope/fear that AI will allow them to lay off lots of programmers so they don't dare hire any right now.

When this bubble pops (and it will, probably within a year or so) these companies will find that they are _under_-invested in programmers and will have to start hiring them with reckless abandon.

History repeats itself; but sometime in the mirror.

At this point just install vscode??

A good API doesn’t just return data.
It handles rate-limiting, caching, auth, validation, logging, versioning, and graceful failure.
If you only return JSON then you're not building an API, you're just exposing a database.
