Productivity has increased only for people who knows what they are doing. I have been able to increase my productivity to build and turn around things faster and in a much polished manner. One problem is too many things goes on in your head and I see using tools like Jira or notion are very handy to capture all edge scenarios, integrations need to be captured. Taking break from AI is very very essential for this to work for me.
have seen this type of advertisement for Y product lot lately. You don't have to bash one product just to advertise another one. AI is not going away; you either embrace it now or after a few years. With its usage, it will evolve and get better with time, both as a product and the solutions they provide
I played around with OCI this weekend , and it is good too. Offering more than others for free, maybe because they are lagging behind. DB side they are powerful than competitors.
My 2 cents no point in reinventing the wheel. Instead use infrastructure to create something disruptive as they say it ( wonderful was sounding a bit lame :) ), spending money will automatically mean commercial software. At a quality worth spending money on.
Open source has its own charm, you are aiming for fame than money I guess ? Collaboration with strangers - keep your mind and heart open to new ideas and that can burn out software developers like us. Where we intent on creating something with a strong will, to learn something ( rust is a b**h ).
Ah sounds like you are looking at it other way round !! Enjoy whatever your hobby is , desktop, web, batch , cron job, api make it a beast and if its good it might sell. If you start a new hobby ( ahem !!) for profit its not a hobby.
