I live between Barcelona and Madrid. I love relational databases. I have been writing software for three decades, mostly line-of-business software, and I have never been so uncertain about the future of software development. I am tired, boss.
I first wrote and sold a program that solved someone else’s problem in 1996, and that made me decide that programming should be more than a hobby. But it’s still also a hobby. I’ve enjoyed both sharing what I do and seeing what others do ever since. I consider programming a form of human expression.
Too often now, when I see something that looks like human expression and start to get interested, under the surface, it’s just a slurry of plagiarism. Needing to look for that every time I think I want to invest my attention somewhere is getting really old, and it’s making this hobby less fun.
I’m tired, boss.
