That ***is*** the way. That IS the actual way.

I stopped on the "HR gets replaced with AI" part

God bless.

I think I bearly got on the train (birth day wise) to get to senior tier in time.

Uhhh what you guys consider senior dev? 10 years good enough?

I've seen microservices many times.

I've seen microservices done right only one time in my life. It was a startup, that was supposed to compete with tiktok when there was talk about banning them. Apparently unicorn company. They hired me for one week cause they had issue that they couldnt solve and I had enough expirience with something that somehow they reached through friend of friend of friend of friend of friend to me. But I got good time to scout around their repos. Everything in nodejs split quite neatly into microservices. Over 200 of them.

Long story short, in the few situations like that one, when done right, they give you more scalability and much more complexity.

Otherwise, my hot take is...

When not done right (I would say solid 90%+ of occurences), its main purpose is so that managers / higher-ups have something to jerk off to. Buzzword.

Development dockers

VPN into my lan from outside

LAMP stack for when I need to do PHP

My favourite cryptocurrency node

Private EVM testnet

Some random daemons I want periodically (such as if I want to for example play satisfactory for a week or something)

@jiraTicket so far my favourite client became my favourite after we did a little bit glazing for each other.

Initially it started quite innocent, I had to explain some limitation of external api that I was writing integration for, went through it, he seemed to understand, I was +- like "its so awesome to have client who understands the technical constraints". It seemed it motivated him enough so that later he was eager to understand and internalize all the technical constraints.

So it made my job oh so much easier. And I personally attribute it to that single glaze in beginning.

@hjk101

Simply tired enough that alt tabbed to wrong terminal (to pull on remote machine I test on) and not noticing and getting confused why it errored out and it looks sus for a bash err... oh... right...

M$ achieving new low, are you suprised? Its open sectet that its race to the bottom, they have norm to establish new low at least once per quarter. They figured that they cant just ship good shit like they used to, rather, its much better idea to learn cystomer to suffer and get pissed off on daily basis

From other news, water is wet.

@thebiochemic Okay Im confusion.. Sure for cloud virtual drives, sure. For NAS though? I have been running games for like 2 years over NAS on windows. In linux I can't have packages install to different partition for example. I can't plug in thumb drive, and `yay foo-bar` to it. On windows I rarely install to C:\. RN on my windows machine I have 2 ssds, raid5 hdd array, raid 0 ssd array (that kills my pcie lanes...) and standalone hdd. And 4 NAS disks mounted. Entire setup never failed me and never gave me problems (except that darn 4 way raid0 ssd array, it uses 16 pcie lanes)

@thebiochemic For your typical desktop expirience multi drives windows is still simpler. What you say sounds about right and about opposite to desktop enviroment, more like server enviroment.

Try junctions. They work (and will break your thing when target drive is missing). From top of my head, here is general idea: log in as another user, run cmd as admin, move your AppData (or sub-folder for AppData) somewhere else (on another drive), use `mklink /j`. Google on how the syntax works for it.

I would never use relative path, but IDK if that's real deal or just me thing.

NOTE: no idea if win11 supports it. I use it on w10 on few specific apps to store some bigger blobs on my HDD raid instead of ssd, so far stuff works.

EDIT 2: mind permissions (!)

EDIT:

About people saying that linux does it better...

I personally don't really agree. On windows you can get stuff spread across disks more easy than on linux - for example it's easy to install stuff on windows to other drives, but in linux package managers won't allow it, unless entire directory is mounted somewhere else, but this dosent give me "entire porgram X on first disk, entire program Y on another disk"

@dotenvironment okay well my assumption was wrong than. Sounded like corp to me tho.

@fullstackclown

They want us to not question it. Imho the label is by design.
Like doing the DAN on chatgpt is labeled 'hack'.

And thats wrong, but people gonna be people.

Ffs they could stop dicking around and just give us the model / checkpoint.

I will happly put in 100% efford if some conditions are met. Mostly stuff like 'i know wtf am I supposed to do, no bullshit arbitrary limits 'oH uSe TeCh XyZ' (there are legitmite ones based on long term plans of software), single concurrent task, frontend that knows his shit and wont bother me with bullshit of his makong. Just tell me what you need, give me time and peace and you will get exactly what you asked for, faster than you expected, basically.

Recently i had a client who was like small company that needed to glue together 2 small invocing apis with minor transformations on as low budget as it gets. He paid for few hours of work, he got few hours of my work, but trust me, he got every single minute out of these few hours. The guy was just pure pleasure to work with. What a rare gem...

Frankly, i dont have degree. Over past what.. 6 years... Fuck, time flies... Over past 6 years my pay gone up shy of 7 times.

Just matter of sticking it to your grind and honestly... Getting better at it.

Sometimes I get the impression that degree is kindda scam or shouldnt be pushed to so young people, rather like 25-35 age range. Or maybe im wrong. Idk.

Thunderbird shows it for me, maybe not in list but when i have the email open it's "John Smith <j.smith@example.com>"

My annoyance is that it wont show me real sending server present in headers. I wish i had ptr lookup result next to that...

@C0D4 While I agree there are many services that dont support this. Sometimes there is just no alternative.

Which succ.

Added to list of 'why to avoid corps'

Get your hands on delivery daemon response with "this email does not exist", copy-paste it, change emails, send.

@kiki whoa whoa whoa that's not that... In bitcoin when you spend you often spent to many outputs, and usually one of outputs is all of your money - transaction. Someone had 20-something btc and spent one of them. The dev got +- $20 000. Think of me taking all of my money from my wallet, paying from it, and putting rest of my money to second wallet - totally i transfered all of my money, but spent not all of it.

Edit: sorry, I've read first sentence and was like "opsie Ive made someone mistaken let me fix it" than read that you figured it out.

@kiki You can validate Im not bullshitting -> go to his repository, copy btc address, plug into blockchain explorer of your choice, see today BTC history.

1 BTC is big dono in my book

Still, IMHO that's temporary, people got the memo for 5 minutes, after few months it will likely cool off, there are many unfunded critical FOSS contributors, his personal situation is just drop in the sea.

It highlights problems with FOSS very well.

But from positive news he got at least one time usefull donation https://blockchain.com/explorer/...

Today, after publishing it.

So that should be enough fuel for at least time being

"do not assign to graphQL team"

huh, intresting choice of name for an exception.

Next time I will write exception I will sure call it "doNotAssignToDubbaThony"

Anyhow - that's just MS Teams being MS Teams, I never had any luck with that piece of s..

@Nanos *cough* dosbox

But ye, modern windows cant handle natively 16bit programs anymore. IIRC at some point it could. Windows XP I think?

TBH Ive met IRL more self-tought veteran devs than veteran devs with degree, coincidence?

@JsonBoa

Oh yeah, thats definition of internal dev of banks....

On other hand in banks position is often fairly cozy, so.. Something for something.

@Hazarth

Private instance...
You never know whats behind closed doors, all kinds of pathologies are off limits tbh. Even if I would expect that its the case, I wouldnt be suprised if it wasn't.

Anyway wild doubtful speculation lmao

Now at: weak men, hard times are coming for next iteration.

@Hazarth

Let me try find plausible case...

1. Maybe fellow devranter works for MS or smh on some integration of chatgpt?

2. Maybe fellow devranter works on reporting /investigating the bot to for example produce research paper of some description about it

3. Troll?

I tried, okay?

I mean you can allways say that they were doing scalability tests or some sh...

Why it wasnt limited tho lmao

@atheist

I dont remember how exactly it looked like but in general, phone opens up connection and lets it sit idle
