I'm trying to build a extremely simple exercise timer app for multiple platforms, and using Gemini and Junie, I Evaluated Rust+Tauri, Cpp+GT, SWIFT+SWIFTUI, Kotlin+MP, and Dart/Flutter, even though I started hating flutter, when started working with Jetpack Compose for KMP, I have to recognize that flutter is the best option for MP. Maturity, Ecosystem, UI+Backend in a single codebase, etc.
You are not alone in this. As a 25y dev I can relate to this. I wasn't disciplined as you, that's a big difference. I entertained myself learning techs outside my job box.
This loneliness happens in many aspects of life. Reading is an example.
I always encourage my children into heavy reading. Even I pay them for challenging books. As a result, their way of thinking is above average in almost everything.
But I constantly warn them to look for good peers, people that share their taste in reading, people who they can talk and enjoy the talking, or else they will end up feeling alone.
So my advice, expand your social circle and find people smarter than you, people you can admire and enjoy listening. It worked for me. Good luck and good coding!
"According to this logic, anyone who works in the subway should be dying, what, 10 years earlier? Which is obviously not happening." And you know this how?, Where YOUR numbers and conclusions come from?
There's a direct correlation between learning theoretically (a.k.a. old fashion reading) and the eureka moment when you KNOW you are an expert in something. Yes, the experience is crucial, but as Pasteur said "chance favours the prepared mind".
The sadder part of this is when one of those not-colluded companies decide to increase a big number their service, the others wait to see is people accept this and then they do it as well. There is where we hurt ourselves.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
Its a cycle we already saw so many times, I believe with so many movements asking for rights, that this is "weak men" part creating hard times.
Mexico did a while ago what so many people is asking for, disband a security corp, result? The Zetas.
Why people is ignoring statistics? People kill people of the same race.
Many of that videos is just a bunch of violent people being put as victims by others people agenda. Is like your big brother hits you, then you hit back and just you are punished.
Be careful and thoughtful in your judgments. If possible try to look back in history and search an alike situation outcome.
I don't think any reasonable person is suggesting we fully defund or disband the police. They are suggesting that by giving police military style gear it incentivizes them to use it.
Instead of giving the police this crazy gear, we should redirect that money into training for the police. Or maybe some of it should go to schools.
There is a pretty good argument around fully disbanding the police; and it appears to be the stance that Minneapolis is taking.
The idea being that for the roles you'd traditionally want police to cover (response to violent crime), they've successfully received case law that doesn't require that to be one of their duties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia
And nearly everything else is better handled by social worker like positions addressing the root issues. Police shouldn't be mental health professionals. It's just cheaper to give homeless housing than constantly fine and jail them. The war on drugs has been a policing failure, just like alcohol prohibition was. Low level traffic infractions tend to just be an extra revenue generation scheme aimed at the poor. etc.
And we've spent decades trying to reform in place, without much progress, because structurally they don't want reform and kneecap the reforms at every opportunity. Better to dump the whole system and it's nomenclature, and rebuild what pieces we want with new roles.
No, Minneapolis city council has unanimously voted to completely disband the police and are rethinking public safety from scratch. Reform clearly hasn't worked.
