I am a programmer, outdoor plumber and currently training to go to selection for Wildland firefighter.
If you like being active and more physical - just look at what interests you in terms of what you want to do physically and try to match it with something that can yield an income or trade.

We blame the specs, there is no need to make it faster.
It is actually that simple.

This is not going to age well.
How is it working in other ecosystems than .NET?
Working in .NET can be mentally challenging process a lot of times. The overhead, aligning packages, updating Visual Studio. In general dealing with Microsoft. Some people love it. I don`t anymore and i am thinking of pivoting to a different programming-language and ecosystem.I am just wondering what is it like working in something like:- GO? - Rust? - C? - Java?

I can see what you are saying, but i will ask you this.
Think about Nuclear Weapons. I will suggest reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Schelling
The gist for me is that the more countries that have AI game-theory states that it is in the best interest of both AI itself ( as it where ) and nations to keep it under check.

It could also be that they have gotten way with "smaller things" before, but now they have chewed on something just a little bit too big.

Solve problems and you will never be out of work nor money.
I wish people could understand this.
If AI causes problems, solve that problem.
Do you really think that AI is going to be smooth sailing?

Slow down and let people adapt.
The problem is not AI replacing jobs, it is the speed of the replacement that is critical.

Re:Ask HN: How many hours do you work on a daily basis?
on Wednesday March 29, 2023 @05:42AM (#35354765)
I am working on average 1-3 hours a day of paid work and rest is tinkering and playing around with stuff i like.
I do alot of ML in my sparetime for my hobbyprojects, so AI is speeding stuff up if i need something boilerplated. However it has slowed me significantly down if i try to use AI for things that are hard and complex.

A day:
Get up at 0600, cook water to make coffee.
Get on the indoor-cycle to do one hour Zone 2 cycling.
Rest of the day is spend learning C, working on an C#/Azure Function webshop i have. This is intermingled with an Alternating Current containing fear of the future to excitement of the future. 1700 ish Take a break and workout for atleast an hour. 1800 ish Eat, relax and then bedtime
This pattern repeats itself until Friday afternoon where i spend a couple of hours socializing and in the weekends i work on my outdoor IOT-project.
