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…

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 wit…

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 becaus…

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 …

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 …

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 …

I also get an empty page (content-length: 0)

They can just use ChatGPT for that.

> slowly, slowly lose that capability. Well, not so slowly it seems.

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 …

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 oriente…

Short code SMS goes through different providers than regular SMS, so the deliverability will differ.

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 …

If the logistic driving parameter is large enough it can also lead to complete chaos.

It does not even have to be dynamically generated. Just pre-generate a few thousand static pages of AI slop and serve that. Probably cheaper than dynamic generation.
