sqeakon Ask HN: How much coding should beginners learn in the AI era?

None. My company is hiring anyone who can use a computer and having them produce code via AI then review via AI and that is that. I was told to stop writing any code 6 months ago and haven't written a single line since. Not sure learning anything is worth it anymore, I'm shown every day at my company how they are replacing me directly and no longer have "devs" or "IT". They now call "IT", Digital Services and it can all be done by AI.

That is my plan next. Just starting with the easy stuff to prove it can work. We'll see later if we can maybe find something new.

sqeakon Asking Qwen3.5-9B, running on 16GB VRAM, to exploit old Windows machines

Just testing the limits of what a local model can do with only 16GB of VRAM. Figured I'd just go crazy and let it play inside Kali and target some old operating systems. Go easy on me, it's my first post and I'm always trying to learn and share my friends!
