Most people wait for a brilliant idea before they start.

You don’t need one.

jairojair··on I am happier writing code by hand
I understand it’s certainly happier for you, but for most people, it’s more about paying the bills.

> You Can’t Pay Me To Prompt!

As a software engineer, you don’t get paid for simply writing code, people pay u for problem-solving.

Nice project, congrats
jairojair··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
During the holidays, I’ve experimented with some ideas. I wondered if it was possible to make money in 2025 using simple, nano banana wrappers, thr answer is yes!

for example, RecolorLife.com and Headshoti.com generate around $800 USD.

Now I will expand for real estate.

You’re not unproductive - what’s missing is better alignment of expectations with yourself and the people around you.

We've all heard it before, consistency is key. But what does that really mean?
jairojair··on The Age of Software Artisans
Yes! Sometimes people put focus on right or wrong and forget to enjoy the process.

I wrote a little bit about it here: https://jairojair.com/articles/coding-just-for-fun/

Hi folks!

I really didn't think many people would see this post, thank you for the comments and discussion.

The central idea is that technology is cyclical, new tools will emerge and the way we work will change.

However, in my view, using tools doesn't make you less or more of a craftsman; creating something different from mass production does.

In a world where everything is very similar, websites are copies of each other, every new startup has the same color palette, creating something with small flaws, but different, is a distinguishing factor.

Perfection lies in imperfection.

Keep coding!

Good point! A car built 10 years ago is very different from a car built today, but it's still a car, right?

Some people like old cars, others prefer Teslas, and that's perfectly fine.

The world will change, and that's not a bad thing.
