Often wondered... if someone shunted GPS on a global scale, would their be seemingly endless amounts of people absolutely lost and unable to find home? If mobile devices only worked when and where others weren't nearby? No people around... 5G baby! Two or more people around... black screen. Do you talk with others, or go hide so you can love and coddle your beloved device? Most recently, I wondered if the local club "rock band" scene a dying idea... you know... like "justice" and/or "do process" is?

What do you do?
I am a developer; the office is Java Angular based, personal development is PHP and Vanilla JS... but what I actually do now is watch the office developers use AI (codex/ChatGPT) to create applications to... wait for it... to do what they used to do, a.k.a. their job. I watch them all slowly develop themselves right out of the very thing they were being paid to do. I watched a Project Manager use Figma and walk all over a harden developer with the results. Crazy...
Why?
Obviously, I do it to pay the bills... buy bass strings... ultimately, to be known on a first name basis at sweetwater.com (I'm getting there).
