GM folks! Life for techies in 2025 is... interesting. So you just overthought things again and flunked another technical interview? Chin up mate! You bombed that coding kata you’d usually ace with your hands tied behind your back and was told by an interviewer (who probably doesn’t realise they’re indirectly using a lot of your code) that you’re not senior enough. Great for the ego.
Then you drag yourself into yet another meeting about the urgent need to adopt more AI, with the unspoken vibe that layoffs are looming due to “productivity gains”. And finally, you get to do some actual work, basically firefighting and debugging AI slop that somehow made it to production despite all the processes, tests, linters, code reviews, and definitions of done.
Work’s never felt slower. It is what it is.
If you can, escape the salt mines and build something you care about in your own time. It’s one of the best ways to beat the existential dread of 2025.
