"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's OVER for ProgrammerCels: 1 in 4 programming jobs have vanished. What happened?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Without understanding the proper context, this is meaningless.

AI has helped make programmers more efficient which has reduced the need for entry level/junior devs.

However, most of the reasoning is that companies vastly over hired during the pandemic and the days of free money but once it was over, they realized that many of the developers they hired literally were doing nothing and they started cutting positions and getting rid of projects that were not profitable or didn't really fit with the direction they were pivoting post-pandemic.

Software development jobs for quality engineers are not going anywhere anytime soon. Anyone who says otherwise is living in Fantasyland.

The impact of Quantum AI and General Intelligence is not comprehensible, we can at least somewhat quantify the loss AI has generated but nobody really knows where we are headed here

I worry whether AI robots in the future will take most of our jobs away...as a result the whole populace will rely on the government on welfares and there will be social unrest due to the lack of productivity.

Lol...not to sound like a doomer....but that's where were headed.

How will a man be able to show a woman that he is a good provider if he's on welfare because the robots are doing everything?

You shorten the workweek across the board, like how France does it via overtime laws, but you take it further.

Of course, our Elites would rather have half of us overworked and the other half wasting time all day job searching, so...

Sure...just like how robots were going to make all factory workers obsolete 50 years ago right?

Still plenty of those.
