Worn out by the pace of AI? Go back to the fundamentals

With AI, the frantic pace of releases to keep up with, workflows to change, tools to try…

…developers who weren’t doing JS over the last 10-15 years finally understand what JS developers went through.

Tiring, isn’t it? :)

Hang in there, everyone trying to keep up! And I’m not sure it will slow down in the years ahead…

My technique

When all the new stuff wears me out: go back and work on the fundamentals of software engineering and architecture.

That, at least, is relatively stable. And it compounds over time.

It’s also what I put back on the table first alongside the developers I support.
