Yeah bro like why would you just build what you want to your vision? Other people don't want that! Other people know what they want, just build what they want!
We had this at my old work, except it wasn't a display, it was a circular piece of paper with "clean" on one side and "dirty" on the other. When it was done, you rotate the paper so it was clean side up. Should we have gone for series A? It was a pretty great MVP after all, albeit manual, but automation of the paper flipping would of course come on the second iteration
The problem with this is the reason LLMs are so good at writing Python/Java/JavaScript is that they've been trained on a metric ton of code in those languages, have seen the good the bad and the ugly and been tuned to the good. A new language would be training from scratch and if we're introducing new paradigms that are 'good for LLMs but bad for humans' means humans will struggle to write good code in it, making the training process harder. Even worse, say you get a year and 500 features into that repo and the LLM starts going rogue - who's gonna debug that?
I worked very hard for the first 5 or 6 years of my career - hit senior dev pretty quick, managed to double my pay moving into consultancy, and back on product dev in a smaller company nowadays.
Honestly? I don't feel a massive need to grow beyond where I am. I earn in the top 5% in my country. I live a comfortable and flexible life. I continue to learn like any dev with a passion for technology does - but i'm not constructing my life around an endless climb. If my role naturally transitions upwardly, great. If I stay where I am, steadily taking on more responsibility,that's also totally fine. The diminishing returns of chasing a CTO title or another arbritrarily large sum of money just doesn't seem worth it.
I run my Jellyfin on a Pi 5 8GB (with a bunch of other homelab stuff) and run an OSMC (Kodi + Jellyfin plugin) on a Pi 3b 2GB with absolutely no issue. OSMC automatically integrates with my TV remote, runs very low power and smooth. I never used any of the Plex stuff that wasn't my media, so I prefer it this way. Less bloat, more customisable.
I can run this via Kodi's jellyfin plugin, via OSMC on a raspberry pi, on my living room TV. It automatically uses my tv remote, and says in big letters "TV Shows" and "Movies". Anyone at my house can use it, with ease, even the absolute least technical.
