I'm not even on step 0 for that. Dating is f*ked for ordinary young men in 2026

Yes, you are absolutely right in the sense that I did not actively consider human connection to be a priority in my early years. I'm working on that now. And I as well know a lot of people who's lives got better after COVID. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if I wasn't that type of person, it was still easy to make friends across places, but the general trend nowadays is that there a lot more barriers to break into social circles, and a lot of social circles are not as easily accessible. And maybe it's also because I live in Seattle.

I do feel this trend in my life. I have a job which I'm grateful for but nothing feels satisfying anymore, and I feel like it is much harder to connect to people or form deep relationships, especially in this field, unless you already have a clique in your workplace.

On top of that, AI is generally a demotivating entity to the majority of people. Despite all the hype of Altman and whonots, I feel like people just don't have a positive view of the future of their careers due to AI. And once you lose hope it's just downhill from there.

Also I feel like society still hasn't recovered fully from COVID, so many third places gone, restraunts closed, etc. It's getting there but people are isolating more and more. I'm in my late 20s and I just haven't felt like my social life is even half of what it used to be before COVID.

Social media has just gotten way worse across the board. X is just a reflection of trend.

This site has really gone downhill lately with drivel like this being upvoted. Any real developers on this site anymore?

Honestly for the limited projects I've had to work with... I can attest to that. It's the over engineered abstractions that get me. Traditional Java EE users use WAY too many abstractions and interfaces, it's absolutely horrible to debug.

I guess it's just a given that everyone uses IntelliJ Ultimate. If you don't, I guess you're right, the tooling is lacking outside of that. But it's so worth it...

HDMI 2.1 is useless already, how many monitors halve the bandwidth of their 2.1 connector? Standards need enforcing, none of this fake HDMI 2.x bullshit.

Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.
