For real, where is he going? Getting abducted by big belt?

FairEmail is the Gold Standard right now imho. The learning curve can be quite steep though.

Great, another one to stress about!

We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!

A lot of younger folks in IT, like myself, have been on the brink of exhaustion since 2022.

Sure, there was the “obsoletion” of PHP, Java, plain JS, etc. before, e.g. in favor of one of the JS frameworks that get released every other day.

But this one feels different. They are trying to sell you the idea of everything related to sw development and programming will get “outsourced” to a computer. The problem is, LLMs can’t do the necessary thinking to build resilient systems as they can’t “think”, neither effective nor efficient. They can be great tools when used the right way, but that’s about it.

This blog post summarizes this, admittedly subjective experience, way better than I could.
