Diaries, thoughts and Ideas

 I'm usually skeptical when there is a lot of hype about a certain technology and how it will change the way we create programs (no offense to blockchain and smart contracts). I felt that hype was real when it came to adopting public cloud and k8 for example. This time, it feels like a real giant wave is here which is generative AI. Yes, we need to fix data privacy, copyrights and ethical questions, still it is here to stay and change our day to day tasks as software engineers. Would it replace us? Not necessarily, however I think it will reduce the dependencies on what I call integration/glue programing. The type of boring work to create a crud/restful api with minimal business logic.  I know there have been many tools to do that, however that will become easier and easier. It is very difficult to imagine a world in the next 10 years, where as a developer you aren't using a code generation tool based on a generative model.  My feeling since I played with chat GPT in 2022...

 It isn't a new year resolution, it is more a way to document and put on paper some of my thinking. I want 2023 to be more about the little things, the little victories. I have for sure more grand dreams/wishes but as I'm approaching my 40ties more and more you discover, you need to find the joy in the journey in the day to day. I won't say it is a wish list, but I want to continue do or be able to do the following more regularly The 5 times a week 20-30 minutes' exercise (any kind) Be with the kids before going to bed more often Structuring my reading habits to serve a project/purpose 5-10 minutes' meditation/Yoga  Reading books with the kids more often, especially Arabic books
