One problem writing does have: we grew up in a massive changing and progressing software writing area. A golden area.

Now i still show clean code videos from bob and other old things to new hires and young collegues.

Java got more features, given but the golden area of discovery is over.

The new big thing is ai and i'm curious to see how it will feel to write real agents for my company specific use cases.

But i'm also seeing people so bad in their daily jobs, that I wish to get their salary as tokens to use. It will change and it changes our field.

Btw. "Is there anything, in the entire recorded history of human creation, that could have possibly mattered less than the flatulence Sora produced? NFTs had more value." i disagree, video generation has a massive impact on the industry for a lot of people. Don't down play this. NFTs btw. never had any impact besides moving money from a to b

At least have the grace to show new hires Rich Hickey lectures or something. Uncle bob is nonsense.

I'm giving them a lot more but I assumed people know uncle bob. Like the Open Source Architecture Books, Googles SRE Books, 1:1 mentoring every week.

But yeah there is one person made of teflon. Nothing sticks. And i could tell you that teflon person in every company i worked so far.

		I know what you mean. Tbh I just think this isn’t for everyone. I’ve been in your position before, you can try everything but some people just can’t get it. And maybe they do and they become a little more productive, but they can’t produce production quality stuff that isn’t brittle. I’ve never found a way around it, and I don’t want to believe that some people can’t grok this field, but that is what I’ve experienced. Maybe other people can educate better. I’ve just found that at some point you have to limit the blast radius and move onto more productive uses of your own time.
