Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services… and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it’s dying this month

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?

Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅

Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

… 🙄

Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

I’ll look into sequelize! Also, we are undergoing a training right now. I have some previous experience from $lastJob with k8s, but I’m sure my knowledge is out of date so glad to be doing it.

Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like alembic) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don’t have CI/CD straight to production—it’s still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.

I’m sure it’s all for the greater good…
