  • These statements can sum up most of what happening. Companies are always trying to make number go up. Ai is the new fad and they feel that if they don’t use Ai, their number won’t go up as much as their stakeholders expect it to. To not look bad to their stakeholders they jam in Ai anywhere they can fit it, but they don’t know what Ai is or how to use it. I believe this is the case where the how to use it is known however it is a shit tool that codes badly and does not actually understand code, just what is the most probable token to output next.




  • I think it means they setup new tech on their homelab to learn how everything works and how to break it. Then when a problem arises where one of these solutions is needed at work, you can implement it without any large issues. It makes sense if your hobby is close to or adjacent your day job, and you are on Salary, and your boss treats you right.






  • Legendary, I love the idea but sometimes I rely on the models stupidity. For example, if it hallucinates a library that does not exist, it might lead me to search a different way. Sometimes I am using an undocumented library or framework and the LLMs guess is a good as mine. Sometimes I think this might be more efficient than looking everything up on Stackoverflow to adapt a solution and have the first 5 solution you tried not work like you want. What is a less drastic version?







  • So I fell ass backwards into DevOps. I have CS education and during covid I had to get a job as a SysAdmin. After I while I became the soft skills SysAdmin for the company I worked at. I would put together service contracts, be the point of contact, and coordinate between all parties involved. I still did technical tasks, I was just the dude that could make things happen. Customers liked to work with me more than the company owner. I had to move and when I updated my LinkedIn, I was contacted for DevOps roles. Apparently I have the exact skill set required for being a DevOps developer. I believe that you can’t be a DevOps developer on purpose, unless you go to school twice.
