<p>I tend to agree, but the gains will come at the expense of the early adopters. Then again, this has been the case in so many industries throughout history.</p>

<p>Overkill in what way exactly? The LOC of the project shouldn't have any bearing on most people's usage of the project. SQLite is one of the well tested and mature projects in the world. What exactly would motivate someone to use PeakSlab instead? What problem are you solving?</p>

<p>We can thank RFK for anti-vaccine leadership leading to changes to the childhood vaccine schedule which make preventable diseases harder to stop. You can celebrate more cures all you want, but as most people know, prevention is the best medicine, and the guy is lukewarm on one of our best defenses when it comes to keeping kids safe (vaccines).<p>And, let's not forget that RFK said: “every Black kid is now, just as a standard, put on adderall, [selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors], benzos, which are known to induce violence. And those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented, to live in a community where there’ll be no cell phones, no screens, you’ll actually have to talk to people."<p>So yeah, according to RFK, every black kid in America deserves "re-parenting". He should resign today.</p>

<p>I completely agree. It makes something that was already very hard that much harder. I have a friend who played guitar in a "famous band". They made it. Meaning, they played on David Letterman and went on extensive tours, had a huge fanbase, etc. Some years back, he reached out to see if I had any leads on IT jobs. I was surprised to say the least, but his response was simple, "there's no money in it." That conversation really hammered it home that you can "make it" and still live without financial security. Fast forward to today, and the situation is even more dire given what is happening with AI.</p>

<p>I can relate here. I have son, who is now 3.5 years old. I haven't had the time or energy to produce any "finished work" since he's been born, and that marks a lull after 25 years of steady output. I don't feel sad or disappointed about this in the slightest. As my wife likes to say, "it's the season we're in." That said, I do really enjoy chaotic jam sessions with my son, as he's very interested in banging on his little drum set, so in some ways, it's just a new beginning. There's no better investment than time with our children.</p>

<p>I’ve been involved in one music project or another (bands, albums, solo projects, etc) for the past 25 years.<p>During the pandemic, a friend and I decided to make a record together. We labored over it for almost two years and finally “released it” on bandcamp to very little fanfare.<p>A few friends and family had nice things to say, and one random stranger reached out with positive feedback.<p>I get a monthly stream report from bandcamp, and it almost always says zero.<p>I am so pleased with this project and have such great memories of making the album that I had two lathe cut vinyl copies made (one for me, and one for my friend).<p>I put a big part of myself into the project and was able to convey ideas and feelings that I couldn’t express effectively via other methods.<p>I listen to the recording about once a year. It’s a part of me now, and I couldn’t be happier with my journey in making it.<p>To me, this is the purpose of the creative journey. Knowing yourself better, and enjoying all of the steps involved in arriving at what is always a surprising destination.<p>If someone else feels something as a result of your work, that’s a nice bonus, but not something I focus on at all.</p>

<p>Thankfully, I am nearing the end of my career with software after 25 years well spent. If I had been born in a different decade, I would be facing the brunt of the AI shift, and I don’t think I would want to continue in the industry. Obviously, this is a personal decision, but we are in a totally different domain now, where, at best, you’re managing an LLM to deliver your product.</p>
