I get it. However I find without significant direction from me it architects things badly and/or introduces poor patterns or lack of maintainability so it’s not like you can just let it run. However manual coding does seem more tedious now and I try to get it to a point where it writes most of the code while I make adjustments.

This is one thing to let your accountant choose imo. Only thing I outsourced right away (bookkeeping and taxes). I asked questions and learned what they were doing over time but it gets in the way of running the business to focus on that imo.
Why should I pay taxes (as a resident non-driver) for somebody else's car if they don't pay taxes for the train I much prefer to use?
They do. That’s my point. Train riders are subsidized. Car drivers are not
I don’t live in London but have traveled for work weeks at a time. Coming from a car focused area, I think this sentiment is surprising. I think the London Underground is one of the best things about London and preferring to widen roads and highways sounds extremely backwards for me who lived in a very car focused area. I don’t think it’s appreciated just how great the underground is compared to other transport systems around the world.
I’ve lived both, car centric US/Canada and London. At first public transport seems great but over time the realization sets in about how uncomfortable it is (no seat warmers, cleanliness, having your face in people’s armpits) and inconvenient it is (not door to door) and that wouldn’t be so bad but then the unreliability (signal issues) and expense of the tickets and tax subsidies makes it a bad deal. It should exist as an option, I’m glad it does so I can have less traffic on the roads, but it’s overrated. HS2 in the article is this expensive just to build, imagine the maintenance costs for the next century. Whether you use it or not, residents will have to pay for it.
> Obsessed with trains. They are unreliable and expensive.
As a visitor, I've always experienced them as very reliable, extremely frequent, and very affordable compared to all alternatives.
> Even the London Underground doesn’t pay for itself with tickets, needing subsidies from tax payers.
Compared to roads, which are somehow self-funding? And that's not even considering all the other negative externalities of dense but car-centric cities.
Drivers and residents pay additional taxes to maintain roads and pay for their own cars. You can’t get tax payers to maintain your own car.
Imo, as someone who lived in central London for 9 years with no car, the Uk puts ideology first oft n. Obsessed with trains. They are unreliable and expensive. Even the London Underground doesn’t pay for itself with tickets, needing subsidies from tax payers. It may be best to build wider roads and highways and everyone buy a car.
Of course you’re not responsible for his death, you need not feel any guilt whatsoever.
However to the general point, having been in this industry for close to 20 years now, unnecessary complexity and constantly changing frameworks and conventions for little to no gain is stressful.

I loved them so much when younger it inspired me to become a programmer. I wouldn’t be in tech without them. Nowadays I don’t play other than with my kids. I believe this decline is because there are so many other problems to solve and responsibilities to take care of when older. When relaxing for an hour of the day I tend to want to do something passive.
Good idea, this is useful. What do you use as your source data? LinkedIn jobs?
