Completely unrelated, but what’s with the spaces inside the parenthesis here? It’s super weird (and leads to incorrect text layout with a standalone parenthesis at the end or beginning of a line…)
I have worked for too long in the field, but this year and simply thanks to the LLMs I have actually managed to get 4 usable hobby projects done ( as far as I need them to go anyway - personal tools that I use and publish but do not actively maintain unless I need some new feature ), and I have been quite productive with stack I do not normally use at our startup. Most previous years I have finished 0-1 hobby projects.
The ramp up period for new stack was much less, and while I still write some code myself, most of it at least starts as LLM output which I review and adjust to what I really want. It is bit less intellectually satisfying but a lot more efficient way to work for me. And ultimately for work at least I care more about good enough results.
