Very few people suspected that github is being used to train the ai when we were all pushed the best practice of doing frequent commit.
a little earlier very few suspected that our mobile phone is not only listening to our conversations and training some ai model but also all its gyrometers are being used to profile our daily routine. ( keeping mobile for charging near our pillow) looking at mobile first thing in morning.
Now when we are asked to use ai to do our code. I am quite anxious as to what part of our life are we selling now .. perhaps i am no longer their prime focus. (50+) but who knows.
Going with the flow seems like a bad advice. going Analog as in iRobot seems the most sane thing.

I've been doing a lot of photography in the last few years with my smartphone and because of the many things you mentioned, I've forgone using it now. I'm back to a mirrorless camera that's 14 years old and still takes amazing pictures. I recently ran into a guy shutting down his motion picture business and now own three different Canon HDV cameras that I've been doing some interesting video work with.
Its not easy transferring miniDV film to my computer, but the standard resolution has a very cool retro vibe that I've found a LOT of people have been missing and are coming back around too.
I'm in the same age range and couldn't fathom becoming a developer in the early aughts and being in the midst of a gold rush for developer talent to suddenly seeing the entire tech world contract almost over night.
Strange tides we're living in right now.
