It has been dying way before AI Tools. Their approach to moderation has IMO killed it, what used to feel like a community started to feel like a dictatorship w. mods deciding how people should behave, what's a valid question etc.

You are missing Django/Flask which have & had very high adoption.

Why should they care and why does it make you depressed ?

Heavily used in hpc

Yes, Apple seems to be the only company that actually cares about the quality of their laptop in my experience. And I say that as someone who used to run Linux on my laptops in 2010~18..

> Also I care too deeply about the quality of the software being developed and am very much perfectionist, which usually translates into lots of frustration for both me and the team.

This is at odds with business needs, very usually. So it doesn't surprise me that you feel people don't listen. Very few business are making money trying to pursue perfect software or quality software - if any.

Like security, trying to be perfectionist won't move any business need/project forward as we all have the real world to deal with, constraints on time / budget / scope are part of decision making

Focusing on software engineering IME isn't that great, there's only so many variations of frameworks/programming languages that can keep me interested.

I'm usually more interested in solving business problems, then I work on industries or companies that are doing interesting things. I've worked in the hardware industry, cloud start ups, visual effects, and now AI.

I feel very satisfied pushing those industries forward with technology, basically the technology being a means to an end.

I usually join the company as some senior dev (more recently already joined as snr mgr) and end up in leadership roles - which seems to be at odds w. what you want.

How's that different then "should I let my kid use a calculator" ? I think you should teach them the trade offs. Now.. 10y old might be too young for the internet in general and some concepts that come with it. I don't think I got to a scientific calculator until I was 15

Yeah wasn’t checked. I’m pretty sure it was a smaller airport than Heathrow. I definitely went through the wrong path out

In 2014 I landed on either Heathrow or another London airport I don’t remember coming from Spain after a vacation

I read on a sign “travellers from Europe this way” and I thought ok my flight came from Spain I’m going that way … when I saw I was out of the airport with no immigration whatsoever

In hindsight it obviously meant if you’re European (which I’m not), I was in shock how easy someone could get in the UK !

You can have daemon running on hosts that are looking into some kind of/v and updating the /etc/hosts file.

e.g: consul-template pointing to consul or puppet looking at some gitops repo

I am sorry to hear that. A friend of mine who moved from US to Canada moved after his mother had cancer on her 60s. She was retired by then after having a very successful career (C level on some manufacture company).

His mom died poor.

Crazy country.

Yep. For example anyone can own /r/canada, which seems like a legit Canadian representation for anyone searching about Canada.

And then make it a very opinionated/hatred/political avenue. Maybe of a right wing group.

Not saying it has happened, or that it looks like that. But it can happen very easily.

What about energy consumption as a proxy for it ?

It powers the nintendo switch.

Every quarter ? Sometimes I would settle for every week.

Yep. I worked in a famous-big-company that had a 15 years old service that was dogslow, systemd restarts would take multiple hours.

Everyone was talking about C++ optimizations, mutex everywhere etc - which was in fact a problem.

However.. I seemed to be the first person to actually try to debug what the database was doing, and it was going to disk all the time with a very small cache.. weird..

I see the MySQL settings on a 1TB ram machine and they were... out-of-the-box settings.

With small adjustments I improved the performance of this core system an order of magnitude.

> Just claim you are standard and then LLM crawlers pick up on it

That's very interesting. Hadn't thought about this PoV. LLMs definitely /can/ empower the wrong kind of behaviour, just like SEO did... and they amplify it a lot by not really showing sources.

Thanks for sharing the thought

At large scales a lot of it is measured on power instead of compute, as power is the limitation

I guess I met Jeff's work on Ansible for DevOps: Server and configuration management for humans which is roughly 10 years old.

I then used many of his ansible playbooks on my day to day job, which paid my bills and made my career progress.

I don't check youtube so I didn't know that he was an "youtuber", I do know his other side and how mucH I have leveraged his content/code in my career

He is not a YouTuber. And even if he was - what's the problem ?

Jeff has many useful OSS software used by many companies around the world daily - including mine. What have you created ?

That really depends on what you want to learn and how deep. If you're automating things before the hypervisor comes online or there's an OS running (e.g: working on datacenter automation, bare metal as a service) you will have many gaps

Love Jeff's ansible roles/playbooks and his cluster building ! Quite interesting, I should reserve some time to play with a Pi cluster and ansible, sounds fun

USA is huge. This is happening in a small part of the USA in a very limited fashion. It's not like the USA has driverless cars everywhere, 99.9% of the population never saw one.

Yup I bet. I’ve only been using Reddit for sometime now that’s why I mentioned it

What I worry about is how much of it is bots. It lost some value to me as it went from thinking the majority of interactions / posts were from people to actually realizing it's from bots from engagement.

It got very political everywhere too, which I assume gets clicks and are a favourite of bot farms

Why do you think building in SF would make a difference in your case ?

backend web services devops frontend javascript

just three possible examples

What problem does it cause for you that it becomes a to-do list graveyard ?

ilm, lucasfilm, wall disney animation studios, pixar..

can be a bad time due to industry shanigans
