Awkward Vulcan Field TripA friend shared this with me. Artist is skeletonclaw.com. I couldn’t find a way to directly link this specific comic.
@reduz I really hope people choose Mastodon over Bluesky. Bluesky is buyable like Twitter. Why repeating the same mistake again by choosing a platform, which can be bought later on?
@saagar @Migueldeicaza yes. In my life, I never worked on a project, which printed money in a short period of time, except for contract work.
@GeekAndDad @Migueldeicaza thank you for the ideas. I will look into it. I think some existing projects would already fall into one of those categories. For instance, Mastodon. It might not be a "tech" problem, but a marketing problem. The technologies might already exist, but lack widespread adoption.
@Migueldeicaza Thank you for the response. I don't think that is exactly my problem, because that image assumes a person is already dealing with a challenge. I don't have a worthwhile challenge to work on.
It feels like everything worthwhile has already been done or you need tons of money nowadays to make it happen.
@Migueldeicaza look at current AI: it isn't really that exciting after the initial Wow-effect. If you work in that field, you need tons of money and the value of the final product depreciates extremely fast, bc a week afterwards something better comes out.
And "Prompt Engineering" isn't really engineering.
When it comes to software engineering, I am in a state of apathy.
@Migueldeicaza honest question: is there still software that is actually worthwhile to work on? I programmed since I was a teenager, got CS degrees etc., but for several years I haven't written any software. Nothing feels worthwhile. It doesn't feel like 10-15 years ago, when there were more opportunities to create something unique. There is no excitement anymore.
@ChristiansenJen Mastodon is much more relaxed than the shit-show on Twitter.
