With YouTube blocking adblockers, I found myself using YT a lot less. Every time I click on a video, it gets blocked. Then I realize I didn't really care about watching the video. It felt like I caught myself before lighting the cigarette. I welcome the change and it has helped free up my mental space for other stuff.

I have coded for 10 years now and I feel like I peaked. I can keep on learning, but I feel there isn't really much point since I don't want to be the world's best programmer. I wanted to learn how to use a tool and I have achieved this goal. Right now, I am a tech lead for a B2B company and I quite enjoy the job because I get to interact with other teams. But as far as career goes, what are my next steps? I am interested in management, but was wondering if anyone that has been through this have any advice or suggestions.

I have been using LLM lately and I started to realize, I didn't care which LLM I was using. Sometimes, I used ChatGPT, and sometimes, Poe. As long as it gave a decent answer and I verified it was corrent, I didn't care. I feel like LLMs are a commodity and there isn't much of a moat. In a few years, many of them will simply be a commodity. OpenAI's lead will be vanish when open source versions catch up. Thoughts?

If you have to create a charter for your team, what would you put in it? What's your perspective from (e.g. manager/ contributor) and why did you chose to put this in?
