I’d love to outsource all the boring, tedious parts of my job to LLM. Unfortunately it is the upper management who decide which parts of my job are boring.

I also feel things changed a lot. We’re now getting vibe coded prototypes from management - thousands of lines of spaghetti that we must make production ready “by yesterday”. After all the difficult part has been accomplished already. Oh, a

I believe they skipped blockchain first so at least there is that.

In my career I never received any recognition for well designed and executed projects. Even the ones that were high impact and widely praised by customers. I had much more luck with shitty/buggy stuff that should not have been released

At my previous place IPv6 was useable (I was getting /60 prefix rather than /64 I’m getting now) but the prefix was changing often - several times per day. This was annoying because every prefix change all addresses of my devices

Same at my place. I get a /64 prefix and my router simply cannot work with that at all.

In my case I don’t even mind if these evangelists try so hard to convince other developers. What I do mind is that they seem to be quite successful in convincing our bosses. So we get things like mandatory LLM usage, minimum number of Claud

To be fair it was not that difficult to set create a pure 64 bit binary distro and there were a few of them. The real issue was to figure out how to do mixed 32/64 bit and this is where the fight about /lib directories originated.

Yeah that kind of thinking is known as “doorman fallacy”. Essentially the job whose full value is not immediately obvious to ignorant observer = “useless busy work”.

I set up Scratch for my daughter but she ended up mostly playing games (Minecraft and Super Tux are her favorite). She did pick up some computer skills though. For example she has pretty good understanding of files and directories - somethi

My server stays powered off but will boot on receiving wol packet. It’s not a sophisticated set up but works for me. I have an always on Rpi running tailscale. I can ssh to it and send a wol from there. Once my server boots I can ssh to it

At least 20% of code must be AI generated with the goal of at least 80% by the end of the year. CEO declared that vibe coders create better solutions because they are “goal oriented” as opposed to traditional coders that are “process orient

My HOA charges $38 fine per dandelion. They send me a picture with all dandelions circled and counted along with the violation notice.

It’s even worse. Sometimes you can be comfortable with all provisions at signing, but then the provisions change or the interpretation of them can change. It does not take much to elect some nut jobs to HOA board - especially that most owne

I used to work for a company that started using Gitprime to measure developer productivity. Gitprime would show a nice dashboard with stack ranked employees based on their git commits. Besides the obvious effect that it had on cooperation (
