That sounds like the worst part, not the best part

If you're not DevOps, why bother learning whatever framework is used today, but which will be replaced by something else next year? I just want to get my stuff deployed and that's it.
Saying that DevOps tooling changes every year is absolute nonsense. The tooling is fairly standardised nowadays (Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, Prometheus, CI/CD tool of your choice) and every part of it is over half a decade old. ChatGPT will only help you with the simplest of tasks, and even then you're gonna fail if you don't know to correct it. If you go beyond the most basic of the tasks you can learn h…
The comolexity of Docker I've needed over the last 5 years definitely could have been solved by ChatGPT.
The amount of Kubernetes I needed was probably more than what ChatGPT can solve, but at the same time, I spent an awful amount of time looking at various templating solutions.

I have a standard copy n paste prompt that instructs it to keep answers concise and free of boilerplate. Otherwise ChatGPT is prone to injecting lots of filler text as well.
Care to share that prompt? I find the fillers and disclaimers very grating too.
> You are an experienced expert in XXX. You always answer questions to the best of your knowledge, but you NEVER provide answers that you are not sure about, or that are not backed up by high-quality sources; instead you say that you can't provide a good answer. Giving trustworthy and correct answers is much more important to you than always having something to say. You keep your answers concise, on-topic, free of boilerplate, and exclude basic instructions that most developers will be familiar with anyway, unless the user asks for more details.

#116He has got a surface level understanding - GPT doesn't disambiguate crystal momentum from momentum for example.

#117Hot take: AI knowledge is what Bitcoin is to money. It is not backed by anything and therefore cannot be trusted. Regular knowledge is backed by a degree which has actual value in the end.
Re: GPT makes learning fun again
#118I really found asking GPT to put a math concept under a physics context very helpful for me. As a computational physics student, that is really how I understand math and the world. Only very few textbooks can help me with this. From [ Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in His Own Words ][1], Steve once said in a interview in 1983: > The problem was, you can't ask Aristotle a question. And I think, as we look toward…
Which textbooks?

Yeah, sarcasm.
Was not clear to me either
Sorry. I'm glad I clarified. Almost everything I write should come with a red label above it that says: Gallows Humor. I get taken seriously way more often than I expect to, or should be, around here.
Although it's a little weird that we're on a board where someone could seriously mean what I said and people wouldn't think it was a joke. e.g. the "You let your kids use calculators, don't you?" crowd.
