I've been in this industry since 2012, and today I just purged a huge backlog of books, websites, engineering forums, tutorials, courses, certification links, and subreddits. I realized I've been throwing this content at myself for years and I just can't stand it. I hate articles about best git methods, best frameworks, testing, which famous programmer said what about X method, why company X uses Y technology, containers, soas, go vs rust, and let's not forget leetcode and total comp packages.

I got through this industry because I like solving problems, that's it. I don't think coding is "cool". I don't give a crap about open source. I could care less about AI and web3 and the fifty different startups that are made every day which are basically X turned into a web app.

Do y'all really like this stuff? Do you see an article about how to use LLM to auto complete confluence documentation on why functional programming separates the wheat from the chaff and your heart rate increases? Hell yeah, let's contribute to an open source project designed to improve the performance of future open source project submissions!

I wish I could find another industry that paid this well and still let me problems all day because I'm starting to become an angry Luddite in this industry.
