I worked on a new feature for Space Coast Devs. I added a member directory that uses Discord as the sign in.
We coined a new term on the Oxide and Friends podcast last month (primary credit to Adam Leventhal) covering the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to the encroachment of generative AI into their field of work.
We’re calling it Deep Blue.
I’ve been thinking about the "Deep Blue" from various perspectives lately.
- Will I remain relevant as a software engineer?
- Will my teenage son, aspiring to be a software engineer, face easier or more challenging job prospects compared to my own experience?
- Does pursuing a college degree in software engineering still make sense for him (or anyone else aspiring to enter the field)?
- Will I be able to secure employment in a software-related role for the next 10-20 years?
Those are just a few off the top of the dome.
I did my somewhat annual revamp of my personal site. Cleaned up some of the architecture. Trying to lean into this idea of a digital garden more. I also created an Obsidian Plugin to publish to my site that I will start using soon.
On the Space Coast 915Mhz Signal someone shared that while in the DC area the local mesh was doing community events weekly. Someone else pointed out that the Florida Mesh Discord is also doing this weekly. I created a page on Space Coast Mesh for our local mesh users to meetup on the mesh. I also worked on the Open Graph images for the site as well as creating an SVG template for events. I fixed the main image to show more of a mesh by connecting the UFOs to each other, not just the middle one.
Our local Barnes and Noble moved into a new building this morning. They had Pete the Cat show up for the grand opening.
