Surely there is a toggle for that... somewhere?

I have the same with YouTube on my TV, always re-enabling English subtitles for Dutch videos, which... I don't want or need.

It's just the right amount of poison for humans, makes us awake and alert, is slightly addictive (but not too much), it's perfect.

Het ging over een man die om 10 uur 's ochtends z'n volledige sealtje sos over straat liet vallen en het vervolgens direct van de grond op probeerde op te snuiven met een stukje papier.
Wil iemand wedje leggen waar de voice note over gaat voordat ik em luister?

The only fear I have is AI taking away junior positions… creating a gap that new developers can’t easily bridge. We’ll only want medior/senior developers that create great code and the bots will write it all.

But how do we make sure there will be senior educated and experienced devs in the future?

I’ve survived:

Dependency injection wars
Frontend framework wars
C++/Java is dying
People are only copying from Stack Overflow-era
Everything must be Scrum-era
(And many more)

We’ll be okay 👌🏼

That’s just the always present existential dread of life 😅

I’ve been a professional dev for over 20 years, and I’ve always seen people (and felt that way myself) talk about how things will derail.
