Coincidentally enough, the Phase 1 showcase of "The Lab" was today. 💁‍♂️ The dev cycle is 50% done. 🤙 https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/the-digital-pound/lab https://blossom.primal.net/e6d06bd526a622713b6a58edf2d25eb54174b982f3c6ab4c26d28a4a2538122b.jpg

I've been building apps for fun with AI and I honestly don't see the market for developers ever coming back.

I was only thinking this week... At what point am I no longer a developer??

You enjoying the farm work?

Also, it would be cool if you could send the app from your phone without internet so you can propagate it when there is no internet via Bluetooth

Yeah I'm still holding on. The worst thing about the last 6 months is that I haven't had a job (Software contractor) so there's been no money to buy more.

I think we're going to do very well in the next few years, maybe even in the next few months.
