I'm running https://stalw.art/ hooked into my SSO hosted on my k8s cluster

Some emails end up in spam some don't, quite frankly I just need it for system alerts for my self hosted services

I'm fully aware, I'm trying to develop some skills here and there in various different fields that interest me

Thing is I don't know on which one to focus on as a backup, I wanted to hear some ideas from the HN community

Same, I had a very weird issue with tailscale VPN for a very long time, no amount of updates or googling fixed it

I created here something similar to how intranets work, where I can easily define a service as public or internal in k8s through the ingress class

If it's internal, it's accessible only through tailscale, if it's public, it's accessible by anyone, now for some reason internal services have insane delays or very very bad bandwidth, never understood why and couldn't figure out how to even debug this

Ran codex, gave access to the whole node, ah yeah just lower the MTU to this value, lo and behold it fixed everything

The other day I got a cheap thermal printer with the only way to use it is through an app, I thought ok I'll try to reverse engineer it, try to understand the protocol, then write a script to print, few days later and progress was very slow, I thought let's try to let an LLM so it

It reversed the entire protocol, wrote me a web app where I can print whatever I want, I got what I needed, but feel zero accomplishment

> The joy of programming is dying.

Ever since LLMs took over everything I'm working or have worked on, I no longer have fun, no longer feel joy, or challenged to solve issues.

My question is, what now? What's the backup skill or job to develop next and still feel joy with it?
