I'm 19 and in the past, apparently.

I turned 40 two days ago. Get off my lawn!

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

When you turn 40 do they issue you a lawn or do you not turn 40 until you have a lawn?

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

You get a lawn and white New Balances at 30. At 40 you get nearsightedness and additional back pain.

I still want to get into coding the OG manual way (because I enjoy pain and disappointment apparently) but now it seems like a waste of time since vibe coders and 13 year olds already are lightyears ahead of me. Also I have no reason to learn it, all apps are already built xD

Couldn't be further from the truth. You also have to consider competition.

Can't think of anything that could serve a major need right now, but I absolutely identified things in my life where I could use a preexisting tool to accomplish my goal, but it's much less hassle for me to use the one I made for myself. You don't have to transform the world, sometimes you can help yourself with a minor inconvenience and then put it out there for anyone who might find themselves with the same inconvenience.

I'm in the same boat. I used to be an amateur front and back end web developer. Almost made a text based RPG in middle school. I had to stop when shit got crazy in high school and college, but I don't feel like any programming is worth my time right now. I'm focusing on gardening and maybe some cooking. You know, human activities that we can still enjoy.

Oh no, I was never a programmer in the past.
