The Coding Performance Anxiety Paradox

OH. MY. GOD. Intel just casually suggested that 5-10 year olds only need basic web browsing while teenagers deserve i9 processors for their "AI & Machine Learning" needs! 🙄 Because OBVIOUSLY every 16-year-old is training neural networks between TikTok sessions! Meanwhile, the finance department is having an absolute coronary looking at the procurement requests for i9 chips because "little Timmy needs it for his science fair project." The audacity of this marketing slide is simply *chef's kiss* - selling $500+ processors to parents who just want their kid to stop asking why the Roblox is laggy. Someone in marketing deserves either a raise or a stern talking-to from accounting!

Content Stephen Gower As someone who has been developing websites since NCSA Mosaic was the only browser available, I'd just like to say that I'm really fcking tired of all the smart assholes out there continuously developing entirely new ways to build web applications. It started simple enough, just html and javascript. Then Cold Fusion. Then java applets. Then java servlets. Then 5 or 6 different Java application servers, EJBs, JSP, struts, XSLT, PHP. But screw all of that. We need Spring. No wait, we need Ruby.and Rails. Wait, we need Query. screw Query. We need AngularJs, and Backbone, and Ember! The world just won't be right until we have 12 different ways to do the same thing in Javascript! Forget all those server-side things you learned. Node js is here! No-wait. F'ck Node. Use Google Go! Honestly how many times are we going to re-invent this wheel? Unless you stay current with all of this nonsense, you basically become unhireable. I'm sure some of you 20 and 30-somethings have already experienced some of this fatigue. Now just imaging 10-15 more years where every 3 years a good portion of what you learned before is now obsolete, and you'll feel like I do.

Content Computer Scientist Researcher Overworked Dev NOOOOOOOOO!!!JUST BECAUSE USERS HAVE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RAM, DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT IMPROVING THE ASYMPTOTIC TIME COMPLEXITY OF OUR CODE AND INCREASE PROCESSING SPEED. MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF NESTED LOOPS IN OUR COMPANY'S CODE SHOULD BE PRIORITY! haha code goes brr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr return true

That beautiful moment when you've closed all your IDE tabs, pushed your commits, and are mentally halfway to happy hour... then your Slack explodes with "Critical update: ALL HANDS ON." The universe has a special talent for waiting until you've mentally checked out before dropping production fires in your lap. It's like the code knows you're smiling and decides "not today, friend." Freedom was so close you could taste it. Now you're being dragged back into the trenches for an emergency that will inevitably be traced back to someone's "minor change" that "shouldn't affect anything."
