"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
It's OVER for ProgrammerCels: 1 in 4 programming jobs have vanished. What happened?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.

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?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
