I have been a programmer for over 25 years, started learning in childhood, and still working as a full-stack software engineer. I have seen a lot in this way and always tried to get my job well done. But burned out because find myself in a position where I realized that what I am doing now is not what I intended when started learning programming in childhood. Why I should care about it? Because I deserved it in my age. And everybody deserved it.
I have read this topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40962675 and understand that I will not go at all, maybe retired but will still doing programs. And I want to start by remembering programming roots and making efficient things like a hobby now to continue with full energy :) in my retirement.
I have posted this topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41328976 and understand that there are developers like me over here.
I do not call on anyone to do anything and do not force anyone, those who are disgusted or funny by this topic, I ask you just to pass by. I respect you as well. For those who feel the same way as I do, I invite you to the IRC channel on the Libera Сhat - #codecrafters. Maybe we won't create anything new there, but this place was conceived as a cafe - the atmosphere of crafters, representatives of the old and new schools of programming, who feel what I'm talking about...
~ A cozy place in the jungle of the techno world for all programmers who like to create high-quality and effective code from scratch with their own hands. Hobbyists, professionals, beginners, and just curious about how things really work. Open-source, free, quality, and handmade software written with a love for engineering and deep knowledge is code crafting. ~
