@mos_8502 That doesn't address the environmental concerns, the intellectual property concerns, or the fact corporations are trying to replace real engineers with it right now. But I can see an area it could fill.
@mos_8502 I think AI programming may fill an Excel-style niche in letting nontechnical users do automated tasks. Not to the skill or degree of an actual engineer but it may enable people who otherwise would have no solution.
@heidilifeldman I bet these guys feel *real cool* with all their *cool guy gear*. If like five of them work together they can take down one landscaper, but they still gotta call for backup if they need to deal with a roofing crew.

During the last few weeks and months, it basically became impossible to filter comment spam. The percentage of detected spam decreases, and when I sharpen the filters even more, I get false positives. One cause is, I guess, LLMs and all those easy-to-build AI automations.So, now what? During the last few weeks I found no practical solution to guard the comment form without harming the real users.

@movq My impression also is that good sysadmins are missing. No wonder if they all get laid off because they're "not doing anything" and developers can just operate their shit themselves. Or so the bosses and plenty devs think. Sadly, that's the general view.

Hell no, devops is bullshit in my opinion. Most developers (including myself) are rather bad at administrating. A good sysadmin offers other skills. Great admins appear to just sit around, but they're much more proactively working than programmers who also operate the same stuff. The latter have a waaay more reactive work model in comparison. When things have already gone south. The sysadmin, on the other hand, would have noticed and thus prevented the vast majority very early on when it was far from becoming a problem in the future.

At least that's my personal experience in all those years in different projects and what my mates tell me from their companies. Sure, skills can be learned, but it's just not happening (enough). And obviously, there are people out there who excel in both disciplines, but they are rare. Most fall in one of the categories. Not to forget, plenty are just bad at everything. :-)
@movq Oh, we like to be paranoid. We've been right so many times. Unfortunately.

(Too bad there’s no good translation for the great word “Selbstverzwergung”.)

I’m paraphrasing: Europe (and other regions) depend on US IT services, a lot, without an actual need. We saw AWS, Google, and Microsoft build large datacenters and then we thought “welp, shit, nothing we can do about that, guess we’ll just be an AWS customer from now on.” Nobody really went ahead and built German/European alternatives. And now we completely depend on the US for lots of our stuff.

The article even claims that there’s now a shortage of sysadmins in the EU? I’m not so sure. But I’d welcome it, makes my job more secure. 🤣

Hosting services, datacenters, software, everything, it’s all US stuff. Why do we accept this, why not build alternatives …

Advent of Code will be different this year:

https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1ocwh04/changes_to_advent_of_code_starting_this_december/

There will only be 12 puzzles, i.e. only December 1 to December 12. This might make it more interesting for some people, because it’s (probably) less work and a lower chance of people getting burned out. 🤔

Personally, I’ll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. 😅

Maybe this makes it more interesting for some people around here as well?
